  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. 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. 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 ...

  5. Maximal and minimal elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_and_minimal_elements

    The maximum of a subset of a preordered set is an element of which is greater than or equal to any other element of , and the minimum of is again defined dually. In the particular case of a partially ordered set , while there can be at most one maximum and at most one minimum there may be multiple maximal or minimal elements.

  6. 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.

  7. 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".

    When solving cubic equations, the capability to find local maximum and minimum values is supported; The Statistics application now supports data sorting; Periodic table mode with atomic weight information (fx-JP900CW and fx-880BTG only) Models: fx-880BTG (2022) [14] (Vietnam) fx-82 / 85 / 350 / 570 / 991CW (2022) (International)

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

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

    Fermat's theorem gives only a necessary condition for extreme function values, as some stationary points are inflection points (not a maximum or minimum). The function's second derivative , if it exists, can sometimes be used to determine whether a stationary point is a maximum or minimum.
