nounpl: lower bounds
limites inferiores
1. In mathematics and computer science, the smallest value that a variable, function, or algorithm performance metric cannot go below
The lower bounds for this optimization problem indicate that the solution cannot be better than 50 units.
Os limites inferiores para este problema de otimização indicam que a solução não pode ser melhor do que 50 unidades.
2. The minimum threshold or baseline established for comparison or evaluation
We established lower bounds for acceptable performance metrics before launching the project.
Estabelecemos limites inferiores para as métricas de desempenho aceitável antes de lançar o projeto.
3. In complexity theory, the minimum amount of resources (time, space, comparisons) required to solve a problem
The lower bounds on sorting algorithms prove that we need at least O(n log n) comparisons.
Os limites inferiores em algoritmos de ordenação provam que precisamos de pelo menos O(n log n) comparações.
This is primarily technical terminology used in academic, mathematical, and computer science contexts in both Brazil and the United States. The term is standard in university curricula for computer science, mathematics, and engineering courses. It reflects the globalized nature of scientific and technical discourse.
