Relates the maximum element of a set of numbers and the minima of its non-empty subsets
In mathematics, the maximum-minimums identity is a relation between the maximum element of a setS of n numbers and the minima of the 2n − 1 non-emptysubsets of S.
Let S = {x1, x2, ..., xn}. The identity states that
