I am learning about Min/Max/Saddle points and I am trying to make some order in what I have learned.
So when we have a multivarible function to find Min/Max/Saddle points:
we take the gradient $\nabla f=0$
we take the second order derivatives and create the hessian matrix
we plug in the values we found in 1
If the hessian matrix is 2 by 2 of the form $H=\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}$
then if $det(H)>0$: 1. if $a>0$: minimum 2. if $a<0$: maximum
if $det(H)<0$ saddle point if $det(H)=0$ we can determine
If the hessian matrix is 3 by 3 we take:
a. the upper left 1 by 1 minor
b. the upper left 2 by 2 minor
c. the upper left 3 by 3 minor
If all are positive it is a minimum
If the change sign + - + or - + - it is maximum
When will it be a saddle point in the 3 by 3 case? is there a reference to a fully detailed summery of the process?
