| 21. | In its broadest sense, the notion of ridge generalizes the idea of a local maximum of a real-valued function.
|
| 22. | Probably there would be an activation energy of zero and the altered HO order would have an energy at a local maximum.
|
| 23. | Funds are paid out in cash, although if payment exceeds a local maximum or cash on hand, a check is issued.
|
| 24. | The Hessian matrix of a convex function is critical point is a local maximum, local minimum, or a saddle point, as follows:
|
| 25. | However, suppose f ( x, y ) contains many many local maximum points, says, more than hundred mountains in the domain.
|
| 26. | A direct result of this is that at every point the shear diagram crosses zero the moment diagram will have a local maximum or minimum.
|
| 27. | For a tachyonic field the second derivative is negative, meaning that the effective potential is at a local maximum rather than a local minimum.
|
| 28. | For example, the inverse of a cubic function with a local maximum and a local minimum has three branches ( see the adjacent picture ).
|
| 29. | If all of the eigenvalues are positive, then the point is a local minimum; if all are negative, it is a local maximum.
|
| 30. | An acnode is a critical point, or negative definite, since the function must have a local minimum or a local maximum at the singularity.
