The Hessian matrix: Eigenvalues, concavity, and curvatureBro. David E. Brown, BYU Idaho Dept. of Mathematics. All rights , of April 21, 2014 Contents1 Introduction12 The Hessian matrix and the local quadratic approximation23 The eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix34 Concavity and curvature65 Conclusion76 Answers to the exercises81 IntroductionStudents of courses in multivariable calculus are often taught the so-called D-test for optimizing functionsof two variables:Theorem (x,y)has continuous second partial derivatives .
mixed second partial derivatives are continuous, so they are equal.1 All of the examples in this document will enjoy the property that f xy= f yx, an assumption that is very often reasonable. Therefore, we will assume the Hessian matrix of freduces to H f(x;y) = f xx f xy f xy f yy :
