  1. lower bound

    In mathematics, a lower bound is defined as a number that is less than or equal to all numbers in a particular set. In simpler terms, it's the smallest number possible within a given set. More specifically, it may refer to a "greatest lower bound" (also called an infimum), which is the largest number that is still considered a lower bound of the specific set. This concept is used in various areas of mathematics including calculus, set theory, and analysis.

Examples of lower bound in a Sentence

  1. Lael Brainard:

  2. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester:

    While explicit forward guidance was used as a policy tool during the recession and earlier in the recovery, in more normal times, away from the zero lower bound, I believe forward guidance should be viewed more as a communications device, as such, I would like to see the forward guidance evolve over time to give more information about the conditions we systematically assess in calibrating the stance of policy to the economy's actual progress and anticipated progress toward our dual-mandate goals.

  3. Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota:

    This addresses a somewhat different question, namely how much warming should we expect if fossil fuel emissions were to suddenly cease, in contrast, our study tries to assess how much warming we should expect given realistic future trajectories of emissions.

  5. William Dudley:

    I believe that the risks of lifting the federal funds rate off of the zero lower bound a bit early are higher than the risks of lifting off a bit late, this argues for a more inertial approach to policy.
