In both the global and local cases, the concept of a strict extremum can be defined. For example, x ∗ is a strict global maximum point if for all x in X with x ≠ x ∗, we have f(x ∗) > f(x), and x ∗ is a strict local maximum point if there exists some ε > 0 such that, for all x in X within distance ε of x ∗ with x ≠ x ∗, we ...
Fermat's theorem is central to the calculus method of determining maxima and minima: in one dimension, one can find extrema by simply computing the stationary points (by computing the zeros of the derivative), the non-differentiable points, and the boundary points, and then investigating this set to determine the extrema.
The constrained extrema of f are critical points of the Lagrangian , but they are not necessarily local extrema of (see § Example 2 below). One may reformulate the Lagrangian as a Hamiltonian , in which case the solutions are local minima for the Hamiltonian.
The optimization of portfolios is an example of multi-objective optimization in economics. Since the 1970s, economists have modeled dynamic decisions over time using control theory. [14] For example, dynamic search models are used to study labor-market behavior. [15] A crucial distinction is between deterministic and stochastic models. [16]
The extrema must occur at the pass and stop band edges and at either ω=0 or ω=π or both. The derivative of a polynomial of degree L is a polynomial of degree L−1, which can be zero at most at L−1 places. [3] So the maximum number of local extrema is the L−1 local extrema plus the 4 band edges, giving a total of L+3 extrema.

NLopt (C/C++ implementation, with numerous interfaces including Julia, Python, R, MATLAB/Octave), includes various nonlinear programming solvers SciPy (de facto standard for scientific Python) has scipy.optimize solver, which includes several nonlinear programming algorithms (zero-order, first order and second order ones).
In the geometry of complex algebraic curves, a local parameter for a curve C at a smooth point P is a meromorphic function on C that has a simple zero at P. This concept can be generalized to curves defined over fields other than (or schemes), because the local ring at a smooth point P of an algebraic curve C (defined over an algebraically closed field) is always a discrete valuation ring.
