  2. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    Furthermore, a global maximum (or minimum) either must be a local maximum (or minimum) in the interior of the domain, or must lie on the boundary of the domain. So a method of finding a global maximum (or minimum) is to look at all the local maxima (or minima) in the interior, and also look at the maxima (or minima) of the points on the ...

  3. Derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_test

    In conjunction with the extreme value theorem, it can be used to find the absolute maximum and minimum of a real-valued function defined on a closed and bounded interval. In conjunction with other information such as concavity, inflection points, and asymptotes, it can be used to sketch the graph of a function.

  4. Extreme value theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theorem

    A continuous function () on the closed interval [,] showing the absolute max (red) and the absolute min (blue).. In calculus, the extreme value theorem states that if a real-valued function is continuous on the closed and bounded interval [,], then must attain a maximum and a minimum, each at least once.

  5. Tolerance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_analysis

    Statistical tolerance stackups evaluate the maximum and minimum values based on the absolute arithmetic calculation combined with some method for establishing likelihood of obtaining the maximum and minimum values, such as Root Sum Square (RSS) or Monte-Carlo methods.

  6. Glossary of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_calculus

    absolute maximum The highest value a function attains. absolute minimum The lowest value a function attains. absolute value The absolute value or modulus |x| of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Namely, |x| = x for a positive x, |x| = −x for a negative x (in which case −x is positive), and |0| = 0 ...

  7. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    The golden-section search is a technique for finding an extremum (minimum or maximum) of a function inside a specified interval. For a strictly unimodal function with an extremum inside the interval, it will find that extremum, while for an interval containing multiple extrema (possibly including the interval boundaries), it will converge to one of them.

  8. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In these limits, the infinitesimal change is often denoted or .If () is differentiable at , (+) = ′ ().This is the definition of the derivative.All differentiation rules can also be reframed as rules involving limits.
