Topic: second partial derivative test
Johannes Riesterer (Nov 02 2024 at 13:57):
Hello,
is there a formalisation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test
thanks in advance
Johannes

No
Patrick Massot (Nov 02 2024 at 14:01):
You should search zulip for second derivative test.
Yury G. Kudryashov (Nov 02 2024 at 14:01):
(AFAIK)
Patrick Massot (Nov 02 2024 at 14:01):
I am sure there was a recent conversation about it.
Johannes Riesterer (Nov 02 2024 at 14:31):
ok thanks for your help
Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen (Nov 02 2024 at 23:32):
I have a new pull request for it the single-variable version: #18266 I formalized exactly the proof given in Wikipedia (which is better than e.g. what is found in common textbooks like Stewart and Thomas).
Patrick Massot (Nov 03 2024 at 10:43):
@Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen ☀️ could you clarify whether this is still a draft or ready for review?
Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen (Nov 03 2024 at 15:49):
I'll say ready for review at this point.
Johannes Riesterer (Nov 03 2024 at 16:05):
this is for one dimensional functions , or? Is there also a proof for higher dimensions?
Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen (Nov 03 2024 at 16:15):
Yes, it is for 1-dimensional functions over ℝ. It's starting from monotoneOn_of_deriv_nonneg which is at that level of generality. It would be great if someone generalizes it further.
Johannes Riesterer (Nov 03 2024 at 16:48):
Ok, thank you. I will try to do it but i don't know if i will proceed. seems challanging somehow :-) .
Johannes Riesterer (Nov 03 2024 at 16:49):
maybe if you can help here and there would be great....
Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen (Nov 03 2024 at 16:59):
I agree it seems challenging! To get started, there are some Zulip threads about partial derivatives.
