11. A "'sextic function "'is a local maximum and local minimum each. 12. Note that a global maximum point is always a local maximum point, and similarly for minimum points. 13. Hill climbing will not necessarily find the global maximum, but may instead converge on a local maximum . 14. *Maxima and minima : Any possibility of a figure with a 3-dimensional local maximum there? 15. :I believe the midpoint of inflection is the point halfway between a local maximum and local minimum. 16. Where applicable, Newton's method converges much faster towards a local maximum or minimum than gradient descent. 17. Local maximum intensity projection has been proposed as in visualization of data from computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.18. The stable stationary state has a local maximum of entropy and is locally the most reproducible state of the system. 19. When the function to be optimized is sufficient condition for the point to be a local maximum or local minimum. 20. However, on the line constant, has no local maximum ( only a global minimum ), a contradiction.
