maxima/minima $h(v,w,x,y) := 6v^2-12v+arctan(w)- frac{1}{2}w+exp(x^2)+x^2+y^2+frac{1}{4}xy$












0














Let $h: {(v,w,x,y) in mathbb{R}^4 : w <0 } to mathbb{R}$ with $h(v,w,x,y) := 6v^2-12v+arctan(w)- frac{1}{2}w+exp(x^2)+x^2+y^2+frac{1}{4}xy$



How can one find the criticial points, i.e. the local/global maxima and minima and saddle points of this function?



I know that a local maxima/minima $x_E$ of a function is its Zero of its derivative $f'(x_E) = 0$.



If $f''(x_E) > 0$ then there's a local minimum.



If $f''(x_E) < 0$ then there's a local maximum.



And if $f''(x_E) = 0$ we can't tell anything.



I don't know how to derivate the function twice, because of the condition that $w <0$ and how I should proceed afterwards.

          The equilibrium points will be where the gradient $nabla h = (h_v,h_w,h_x,h_y)$ is the $0$ vector. To tell whether or not it is a maximum/minimum/saddle, you have to look at the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix,
          $$
          H = begin{pmatrix}
          h_{vv} & h_{vw} & h_{vx} & h_{vy} \
          h_{wv} & h_{ww} & h_{wx} & h_{wy} \
          h_{xv} & h_{xw} & h_{xv} & h_{xy} \
          h_{yv} & h_{yw} & h_{yx} & h_{yy}
          end{pmatrix}.
          $$

          By the equality of mixed partials the eigenvalues are real and the equilibrium point will be a minimum if each eigenvalue is positive, a maximum if they are all negative, and a saddle if they have different signs. $0$ eigenvalue is a still an indeterminate case.



          You will also have to be careful with your domain. Since it does not contain the hyperplane $w=0$, it is possible that the extrema will lie on this hyperplane but your function cannot reach it in this domain.
