Chapter 3: Optimization in Multiple Dimensions
Critical Points and Classification
For a function f(x,y), critical points occur where ∇f = 0. We classify them using the Hessian:
Local minimum: H > 0 and fₓₓ > 0
Local maximum: H > 0 and fₓₓ < 0
Saddle point: H < 0
Inconclusive: H = 0
Where H = fₓₓfᵧᵧ - (fₓᵧ)² is the discriminant of the Hessian.
