  2. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    The definition of local minimum point can also proceed similarly. 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 ...

    In mathematics, a mathematical ... Perhaps the best-known example of the idea of locality lies in the concept of local minimum (or local maximum), which is a point in ...

  4. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    A critical point (where the function is differentiable) may be either a local maximum, a local minimum or a saddle point. If the function is at least twice continuously differentiable the different cases may be distinguished by considering the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix of second derivatives.

  5. Stationary point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_point

    A turning point of a differentiable function is a point at which the derivative has an isolated zero and changes sign at the point. [2] A turning point may be either a relative maximum or a relative minimum (also known as local minimum and maximum). A turning point is thus a stationary point, but not all stationary points are turning points.

  6. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    The positive-negative momentum estimation lets to avoid the local minimum and converges at the objective function global minimum. [10] Further, critical points can be classified using the definiteness of the Hessian matrix: If the Hessian is positive definite at a critical point, then the point is a local minimum; if the Hessian matrix is ...

  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.}

  9. Fermat's theorem (stationary points) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_theorem...

    In mathematics, Fermat's theorem (also known as interior extremum theorem) is a method to find local maxima and minima of differentiable functions on open sets by showing that every local extremum of the function is a stationary point (the function's derivative is zero at that point).
