  1. Economics 2301 Lecture 34 Multivariate Optimization

  2. Second Total Differential of Bivariate Function

  3. Example of Second Total Differential

  4. Second Order Conditions • If the second total differential evaluated at a stationary point of a function f(x1,x2) is negative for any dx1 and dx2, then that stationary point represents a local maximum of the function. • If the second total differential evaluated at a stationary point of a function f(x1,x2) is positive for any dx1 and dx2, then that stationary point represents a local minimum of the function.
