Lagrange Multiplier question: are points saddle, maximum, minimum?

475 Views Asked by At

Assume we have the right conditions of continuity and differentiability. Let's say I have $n$ constraints $g_i(x,y,z)=0$ for $i\in\{1,\dots,n\}$. I form the Lagrangian and find the critical points.

Question:
Is there any easy way of checking whether these points are saddle, maximum or minimum?
