  2. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    However, the normalised sinc function (blue) has arg min of {−1.43, 1.43}, approximately, because their global minima occur at x = ±1.43, even though the minimum value is the same. [7] In mathematics , the arguments of the maxima (abbreviated arg max or argmax) and arguments of the minima (abbreviated arg min or argmin) are the input points ...

  3. Parabola of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola_of_safety

    Maximum height can be calculated by absolute value of in standard form of parabola. It is given as H = | c | = u 2 2 g {\displaystyle H=|c|={\frac {u^{2}}{2g}}} Range ( R {\displaystyle R} ) of the projectile can be calculated by the value of latus rectum of the parabola given shooting to the same level.

  4. Successive parabolic interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_parabolic...

    Successive parabolic interpolation is a technique for finding the extremum (minimum or maximum) of a continuous unimodal function by successively fitting parabolas (polynomials of degree two) to a function of one variable at three unique points or, in general, a function of n variables at 1+n(n+3)/2 points, and at each iteration replacing the "oldest" point with the extremum of the fitted ...

  5. Extreme value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theorem

    The extreme value theorem was originally proven by Bernard Bolzano in the 1830s in a work Function Theory but the work remained unpublished until 1930. Bolzano's proof consisted of showing that a continuous function on a closed interval was bounded, and then showing that the function attained a maximum and a minimum value.

  6. Johnson's parabolic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_parabolic_formula

    Graph of Johnson's parabola (plotted in red) against Euler's formula, with the transition point indicated. The area above the curve indicates failure. The Johnson parabola creates a new region of failure. In structural engineering, Johnson's parabolic formula is an empirically based equation for calculating the critical buckling stress of a column.

  7. Hessian matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_matrix

    Refining this property allows us to test whether a critical point is a local maximum, local minimum, or a saddle point, as follows: If the Hessian is positive-definite at x , {\displaystyle x,} then f {\displaystyle f} attains an isolated local minimum at x . {\displaystyle x.}

  8. Five points determine a conic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_points_determine_a_conic

    whose values for =,,,, are ,,,, – there are no curves of degree 0 (a single point is a point and is thus determined by a point, which is codimension 2), 2 points determine a line, 5 points determine a conic, 9 points determine a cubic, 14 points determine a quartic, and so forth.

  9. Greatest element and least element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_element_and_least...

    In a totally ordered set the maximal element and the greatest element coincide; and it is also called maximum; in the case of function values it is also called the absolute maximum, to avoid confusion with a local maximum. [1] The dual terms are minimum and absolute minimum. Together they are called the absolute extrema. Similar conclusions ...
