It might therefore not be considered wrong to use singular forms of abbreviations with plural numbers. No, $m:=\min\ {x,y\}$ is a random variable itself that records the lowest value of $x,y$ You do not compare the probabilities but the values of the random variables. So yes, it's a function that, taken two elements, gives you the minimum of those. The space between arg and min is confusing It would better be written argmin
What the operator argmin does, when applied to a function, is pick out the point in the function's domain at which the function takes its minimum value (assuming that the point is unique). 6 minimum is reached, infimum (may) not That is, the numbers of the form $1/n$ have an inf (that is, 0), while the natural numbers have a min (that is, 1). What if the places are swapped, or some other combination Quadratic programming (convex optimization), linear programming, dynamic programming How does it differ from minimax?
What is the difference between max, min and sup, inf? Please provide additional context, which ideally explains why the question is relevant to you and our community Some forms of context include Background and motivation, relevant definitions, source, possible strategies, your current progress, why the question is interesting or important, etc. According to wiki the right notation for discrete uniform distribution is $x_2\sim \mathcal u\ {1,3 \}$ Expecially the 2 causes confusion.
