An Alternative Proof of Gauss’s Inequalities

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

A clear formulation of two Gauss’s inequalities is given, and their transparent proof based on the well-known fundamental results is presented. A simple method of constructing a partition of the parameter domain of the problem is proposed. An explicit form of the extreme distribution functions is found.
