A correlation inequality is any 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.[1]
Examples include:
- Bell's inequality
- FKG inequality
- Griffiths inequality, and its generalisation, the Ginibre inequality
- Gaussian correlation inequality
