Real functions Concept

Local maximum and minimum

Builds on Function of several variables

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.
