Example 2: Using the maxima and minima formulas, find the extrema and extremum value of the preceding function: f(x) = -3x2 + 4x + 7. Solution: Using the second order derivative test to find a function’s maximum and minimum: Given function: f(x) = -3x2 + 4x + 7 ———- (eq...
The main difficulty resides in the fact that it is impossible to analyze the large number of extrema of a multivariate energy potential, in the presence of several parameters, such as size, shape, applied fields, etc. A way out of this difficulty was proposed in Ref. [36] where the EOS...
Adam Moroz, in The Common Extremalities in Biology and Physics (Second Edition), 2012 1.2.4 Canonical Equations or Hamiltonian Formulation As one can see from Eq. (1.40), the Euler–Lagrange equations are the system of the second-order differential equations. There is a method to reduce the...
minima, the Euler–Lagrange equation is useful for solvingoptimizationproblems in which, given some functional, one seeks the function minimizing (or maximizing) it.This is analogous toFermat's theoremincalculus, stating that where a differentiable function attains its local extrema, itsderivativeis ...
A method to find space-dependent extrema (soliton or instanton) of one-loop effective actions (local terms plus a logarithm of a functional determinant) is... J Avan,HJD Vega - 《Current Physics–sources & Comments》 被引量: 22发表: 1990年 General static solutions of a massless scalar fie...
With different starting points, gradient descent may end up at different local extrema. In linear regression problems, the cost function J(θ)J(θ) is always a convex function. So gradient descent will correctly find the only global extrema. Specifically, the above algorithm is called batch grad...
Important to notice is that the two solutions yield different behaviours since the solution in the right panel presents two extrema in every period with the same absolute value but this does not occur in the left panel because the maxima presents a higher absolute value. 33 22 11 00 -1 -1...

This is analogous to Fermat's theorem in calculus, stating that where a differentiable function attains its local extrema, its derivative is zero. In Lagrangian mechanics, because of Hamilton's principle of stationary action, the evolution of a physical system is described by the solutions to the...
The calculus of variations deals with the determination of extrema (maxima and minima) or stationary values of functionals. The basic problem in variational calculus is to find the function ϕ(x) which makes the integral functional: [1]I=∫x1x2F(x,ϕ,ϕx)dx stationary. Here, x is...
