In mathematics , the nine lemma is a statement about commutative diagram s and exact sequence s valid in any abelian category , as well as in the category of group mathematics group s. It states if image nine lemma.png is a commutative diagram and all columns as well as the two bottom rows are exact, then the top row is exact as well. Likewise, if all columns as well as the two top rows are exact, then the bottom row is exact as well. The nine lemma can be proved by direct diagram chasing , or by applying the snake lemma to the two bottom rows in the first case, and to the two top rows in the second case .

In the theory of formal language s in computability theory , a pumping lemma or pumping argument states that, for a particular language to be a member of a language class, any sufficiently long string in the language contains a section, or sections, that can be removed, or repeated any number of times, with the resulting string remaining in that language. The proofs of these lemmas typically require counting argument s such as the pigeonhole principle . The two most important examples are the pumping lemma for regular languages and the pumping lemma for context free languages . Ogden s lemma is a second, stronger pumping lemma for context free language s. These lemmamathematicslemma s can be used to determine if a particular language is not in a given language class. However, they cannot be used to determine if a language is in a given class, since satisfying the pumping lemma is a necessary and sufficient necessary , but not sufficient, condition for class membership.

In mathematics , and more specifically, in the fractal dimension theory of fractal dimensions , Frostman s lemma provides a convenient tool for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of sets. Lemma Let A be a Borel measurable Borel subset of R sup n sup , and let s 0. Then the following are equivalent H sup s sup A 0, where H sup s sup denotes the s dimensional Hausdorff measure . There is an unsigned Borel measure &mu satisfying &mu A 0, and such that math mu B x,r le r s math holds for all x &isin R sup n sup and r 0. Otto Frostman proved this lemma for closed sets A as part of his PhD dissertation at Lund University in 1935.

It specifies often easy to check conditions which guarantee that a subspace in a normed linear space is dense set dense . The result Before stating the result, we fix some notation. Let X be a normed linear space with norm and x be an element of X . Let Y be a closed subspace in X . The distance between an element x and Y is defined by math d x, Y inf y in Y x y . math Riesz s lemma reads as follows Riesz s lemma Let X be a normed linear space, Y be a closed proper subspace of X and &alpha be a real number with nowrap 0 &alpha 1. Then there exists an x in X with x 1 such that x &minus y &alpha for all y in Y . See Byran P. Rynne and Martin A. Youngson s Linear Functional Analysis p 47. Note For the finite dimensional case, equality can be achieved. In other words, there exists x of unit norm such that d x , Y is 1. When dimension of X is finite, the unit ball B X is compact. Also, the distance function d , Y is continuous. Therefore its image on the unit ball B must be a compact subset of the real line, and this proves the claim. On the other hand, the example of the space math ell infty math of all bounded sequences shows that the lemma does not hold for k 1. Converse Riesz s lemma can be applied directly to show that the unit ball of an infinite dimensional normed space X is never compact set compact Take an element x sub 1 sub from the unit sphere.

Refimprove date December 2009 Shephard s lemma is a major result in microeconomics having applications in the theory of the firm and in consumer choice. ref Microeconomic Analysis Third Edition, Hal Varian 1992 ref The lemmamathematicslemma states that if indifference curves of the expenditure or cost function are convex function convex , then the cost minimizing point of a given good math i math with price math p i math is unique. The idea is that a consumer will buy a unique ideal amount of each item to minimize the price for obtaining a certain level of utility given the price of goods in the market . The lemma is named after Ronald Shephard who gave a Mathematical proof proof using the distance formula in his book Theory of Cost and Production Functions Princeton University Press, 1953 . The equivalent result in the context of consumer theory was first derived by Lionel W. McKenzie in 1957. It states that the partial derivatives of the expenditure function with respect the prices of goods equal the Hicksian demand functions for the relevant goods.
