Correlation inequality

Correlation inequality

In probability and statistics, a correlation inequality is one of a number of inequalities satisfied by the correlation functions of a model. Such inequalities are of particular use in statistical mechanics and in percolation theory.

Examples include:

  • Bell's inequality
  • FKG inequality
  • Griffiths inequality
  • Ginibre inequality
