Plurisubharmonic function
A plurisubharmonic function is like a special word that describes a function that is like a mountain with valleys.
Imagine a landscape that is very hilly with mountains and valleys all around. Now, let's say we put a flag on top of the highest mountain in this landscape. That highest point is like the maximum value of our function. Similarly, if we put a flag on the lowest point in a valley, that's like the minimum value of the function.
Now, imagine there are a lot of smaller hills around the highest mountain. Those smaller hills are called subharmonic hills. Just like how the highest mountain is the maximum value of our function, each subharmonic hill has its own maximum value.
A plurisubharmonic function is like a function that's made up of many of these subharmonic hills all bunched together. When we add them all up, we get the full picture of the function. This is called a "plurisubharmonic" function because "pluri" means "many", and "subharmonic" means "smaller hills".
Plurisubharmonic functions are used in advanced mathematical topics like complex analysis and differential geometry. They help people describe complex shapes and structures using simple mathematical formulas.
