concept

Local maximum and minimum

Summary

A function of several real variables has a local maximum at a point when no nearby point of the domain gives a larger value. It has a local minimum when no nearby point gives a smaller value, and a local extremum is either of the two.

What this node needs for W1
  • an inventory row: the row of the inventory that the node accounts for (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.

What this needs

To read this node, read these 4 nodes in this order. The foundations come first, and the list ends with this node.

Each node uses the nodes above it. The colour of the bar on a box shows the evidence level, and the box also gives it as text. The list below has the same nodes.
  • no evidence level
  1. Euclidean space object
  2. Function concept
  3. Function of several variables concept
  4. Local maximum and minimum concept

What depends on this

4 nodes use this node, directly or through other nodes.
