11. Thus n = 5, and by the test, there is a local minimum at 0. 12. Detrended fluctuation analysis is the recommended way of determining if trapped at a local minimum . 13. In a stable orbit the binding energy is a local minimum relative to parameter perturbation. 14. When the objective function is convex, then any local minimum will also be a global minimum. 15. In both cases it may or may not have another local maximum and another local minimum . 16. A snake originating far from the desired object contour may erroneously converge to some local minimum . 17.
