  2. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    If D(a, b) = 0 then the point (a, b) could be any of a minimum, maximum, or saddle point (that is, the test is inconclusive). Sometimes other equivalent versions of the test are used. In cases 1 and 2, the requirement that f xx f yy − f xy 2 is positive at ( x , y ) implies that f xx and f yy have the same sign there.

  3. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method_in...

    The geometric interpretation of Newton's method is that at each iteration, it amounts to the fitting of a parabola to the graph of () at the trial value , having the same slope and curvature as the graph at that point, and then proceeding to the maximum or minimum of that parabola (in higher dimensions, this may also be a saddle point), see below.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_test

    In calculus, a derivative test uses the derivatives of a function to locate the critical points of a function and determine whether each point is a local maximum, a local minimum, or a saddle point. Derivative tests can also give information about the concavity of a function.

  6. Lagrange multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_multiplier

    The Lagrange multiplier theorem states that at any local maximum (or minimum) of the function evaluated under the equality constraints, if constraint qualification applies (explained below), then the gradient of the function (at that point) can be expressed as a linear combination of the gradients of the constraints (at that point), with the ...

  7. Multivariable calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariable_calculus

    Multivariable calculus is used in many fields of natural and social science and engineering to model and study high-dimensional systems that exhibit deterministic behavior. In economics , for example, consumer choice over a variety of goods, and producer choice over various inputs to use and outputs to produce, are modeled with multivariate ...

  8. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    If the functional [] attains a local minimum at , and () is an arbitrary function that has at least one derivative and vanishes at the endpoints and , then for any number close to 0, [] [+]. The term ε η {\displaystyle \varepsilon \eta } is called the variation of the function f {\displaystyle f} and is denoted by δ f . {\displaystyle \delta ...

  9. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    The minimum value in this case is 1, occurring at x = 0. Similarly, the notation asks for the maximum value of the objective function 2x, where x may be any real number. In this case, there is no such maximum as the objective function is unbounded, so the answer is "infinity" or "undefined".
