https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahler%27s%20inequality | In mathematics, Mahler's inequality, named after Kurt Mahler, states that the geometric mean of the term-by-term sum of two finite sequences of positive numbers is greater than or equal to the sum of their two separate geometric means:
when xk, yk > 0 for all k.
Proof
By the inequality of arithmetic and geometric me... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closest%20string | In theoretical computer science, the closest string is an NP-hard computational problem, which tries to find the geometrical center of a set of input strings.
To understand the word "center", it is necessary to define a distance between two strings. Usually, this problem is studied with the Hamming distance in mind.
