Relative maximum, relative minimum

Japanese: 極大・極小 - きょくだいきょくしょう(英語表記)relative maximum,relative minimum
Relative maximum, relative minimum
Suppose there is a real-valued function f ( x ) defined on a set E that includes a point c . When f ( x ) ≦ f ( c ) at all points in E that are sufficiently close to c , f is said to be a maximum at c , or to have a maximum value f ( c ). When f ( x ) ≧ f ( c ) at all points in E that are sufficiently close to c , f is said to be a minimum at c , or to have a minimum value f ( c ). In other words, when f ( c ) is said to be a maximum, it means that it is the maximum value when considered only near c (i.e. locally), and not necessarily the maximum value when considered in the entire domain.

Japanese:
cを含む一つの集合Eで定義された実数値関数f(x)があるとする。cに十分近いEのすべての点でf(x)≦f(c)となるとき,fcにおいて極大となる,あるいは極大値f(c)をとるという。cに十分近いEのすべての点でf(x)≧f(c)となるとき,fcにおいて極小となる,あるいは極小値f(c)をとるという。いいかえるとf(c)が極大値であるというのは,cの近くでだけ(すなわち局所的に)考えたときの最大値であって定義域全体で考えたときの最大値とは限らない。
