8、ed and achieves its bounds.To find the extreme values of a function on a closed bounded set it is necessary to consider the value of the function at stationary points(), singular points (does not exist) and boundary points(points on the edge of the set).Stationary points can be classified as local m

9、axim , local minim or saddle points.If The Leading Minor Test 1.9 is not applicable, the stationary point must be classified by directly applying Definition 1.1 and Fact 1.6. For example in the two variable case, if has a stationary point at ,we consider the sign offor arbitrarily small, positive an

10、d negative values of and (that are not both zero). In each case, if det(H)= 0, then can be either a local extremum or a saddle point.Example. Find and classify the stationary points of the following functions: (1) (2) Solution. (1) ,soijkCritical points occur when ,i.e. when(1) (2) (3) Using equatio

11、ns (2) and (3) to eliminate y and z from (1), we see thator ,giving , and .Hence we have three stationary points: , and . Since, and ,the Hessian matrix is At ,which has leading minors 0,And det .By the Leading Minor Test, then, is a local minimum. At ,which has leading minors 0,And det .By the Lead

12、ing Minor Test, then, is also a local minimum.At , the Hessian isSince det, we can apply the leading minor test which tells us that this is a saddle point since the first leading minor is 0. An alternative method is as follows. In this case we consider the value of the expression，for arbitrarily sma

An extreme value of f(x) subject to the condition g(x) = 0, is called a constrained extreme value and g(x) = 0 is called the constraint.Definition 2.2 If is a function

16、of n variables, the Lagrangian function of f subject to the constraint is the function of n+1 variableswhere is known as the Lagrange multiplier. The Lagrangian function of f subject to the k constraints , is the function with k Lagrange multipliers, Key Points.To find the extreme values of f subjec

17、t to the constraint g(x) = 0: (1) calculate, remembering that it is a function of the n+1 variables and (2) find values of such that (you do not have to explicitly find the corresponding values of ): (3) evaluate f at these points to find the required extrema.Note that the equation is equivalent to

18、the equations,and So, in the two variable case, we have Lagranian function and are solving the equations:, , and .With more than one constraint we solve the equation.Theorem 2.3 Let and be a point on the curve C, with equation g(x,y) = 0, at which f restricted to C has a local extremum.Suppose that

Since P is not an end point and ,has a tangent at with normal .If is not parallel to at , then it has non-ze

20、ro projection along this tangent at .But then f increases and decreases away from along ,so is not an extremum. Henceand are parallel and there is somesuch that and the result follows.Example. Find the rectangular box with the largest volume that fits inside the ellipsoid ,given that it sides are pa

21、rallel to the axes.Solution. Clearly the box will have the greatest volume if each of its corners touch the ellipse. Let one corner of the box be corner (x, y, z) in the positive octant, then the box has corners (x,y,z) and its volume is V= 8xyz.We want to maximize V given that . (Note that since th

As we want to maximize V we can assume that so that .)Hence, eliminating , we getso that and But then so or ,which implies that an

Since it is the only stationary point it must the required max and the max volume is.中文譯文 多元函數(shù)的極值1. 穩(wěn)定點(diǎn)定義1.1 使并且. 對(duì)于任意一點(diǎn)有以下定義: (1)如果對(duì)于所有充分地接近時(shí)，那么是一個(gè)局部極大值;(2)如果對(duì)于
