Maximizing/Minimizing a function
Let f(x)= f(x1, x2, …..,xn) be defined over a set S in and let F be a
function of one variable defined over range of f. Define g over S
by
Mathematical Application:
1) maximize (x,y) ɛ S
2)maximize subject to (x,y) ɛ S
Hessian Matrix
Let f(x,y) be a function with partial derivatives of the first and
second order in a convex domain S, and let (be an interior point
of S at which f is stationary
f(x,y,z)=
• Suppose that f(x) has continuous partial derivative in a convex
set S in and let be an interior point in S. Now,
