Min-max theorem

In linear algebra and functional analysis, the min-max theorem, or variational theorem, or Courant–Fischer–Weyl min-max principle, is a result that gives a variational characterization of eigenvalues of compact Hermitian operators on Hilbert spaces. It can be viewed as the starting point of many results of similar nature. This article first discusses the finite-dimensional case and its applications before considering compact operators on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We will see that for compact operators, the proof of the main theorem uses essentially the same idea from the finite-dimensional argument. In the case that the operator is non-Hermitian, the theorem provides an equivalent characterization of the associated singular values. The min-max theorem can be extended to self-adjoint operators that are bounded below. (Wikipedia).

How to determine the absolute max min of a function on an open interval

👉 Learn how to find the extreme values of a function using the extreme value theorem. The extreme values of a function are the points/intervals where the graph is decreasing, increasing, or has an inflection point. A theorem which guarantees the existence of the maximum and minimum points

Pre-Calculus - Identify the local maximum and minimum of a function

This video shows how to find the local maximum and minimum points when looking at the graph of a function. Remember that these are the maximum and minimum on some interval of the entire function. More specific techniques are covered for other functions like quadratics in later videos. F

Rolle’s Theorem Proof

In this video, I prove Rolle’s theorem, which says that if f(a) = f(b), then there is a point c between a and b such that f’(c) = 0. This theorem is quintessential in proving the mean-value theorem in Calculus. Along the way I prove Fermat’s theorem, which says that if f has a maximum/mini
