[Math] Maximization of sum of two functions

calculusconvex optimizationoptimization

Is there any relationship similar to the following.
Let $X$ be the maximum of functions $f_1(x)+f_2(x)$.
Let $X_1$ be a maximum of $f_1(x)$ and let $X_2$ be a maximum of $f_2(x)$.
Is there any relationship between $X$ and $X_1$ and $X_2$?

For example can we say under what condition will $X$ be in-between $X_1$ and $X_2$, $X_1 \le X \le X_2$.

Any reference would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Best Answer

$$ \max (f+g) \le \max f + \max g $$
