Abstract: | In this paper, the extremum of second-order directional derivatives, i.e. the gradient of first-order derivatives is discussed. Given second-order directional derivatives in three nonparallel directions, or given second-order directional derivatives and mixed directional derivatives in two nonparallel directions, the formulae for the extremum of second-order directional derivatives are derived, and the directions corresponding to maximum and minimum are perpendicular to each other. |
