Optimisation in several variables

Critical points, the second-derivative test, and Lagrange multipliers.

Critical points are where the gradient vanishes; the Hessian's determinant sorts them into minima, maxima and saddles. With a constraint, Lagrange multipliers say the gradients of f and of the constraint are parallel at the optimum. Picture it: the surface's bowl bottom, hilltop or saddle. The 3D view shows which. Think it: constrained optimisation is the geometry of tangency between level sets.

Gradient of x^2 - 2x + y^2 - 4y

x^{2} - 2 x + y^{2} - 4 y

Dingana amin'ny dingana

  1. f(x, y) = x^{2} - 2 x + y^{2} - 4 y

    The gradient is the vector of partial derivatives. Differentiate with respect to each variable, holding the others constant.

  2. \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 2 x - 2

    Treat every variable except x as a constant.

  3. \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 2 y - 4

    Treat every variable except y as a constant.

  4. \nabla f = \left[\begin{matrix}2 x - 2\\2 y - 4\end{matrix}\right]

    Assemble the gradient vector. It points in the direction of steepest ascent.

  5. (1, 2)

    Critical points: where every partial derivative is zero.

Fanontaniana napetrak'ireo olona

What is a partial derivative?

The ordinary derivative with respect to one variable while every other variable is frozen: the slope of the surface in one coordinate direction.

What does the gradient point at?

Uphill: the direction of steepest increase, with length equal to that steepest slope. It is perpendicular to the level curves.
