(2005), Hessian sufficiency for bordered Hessian, Research Letters in the Information and Mathematical Sciences, 8, 189-1961175-2777http://hdl.handle.net/10179/4457We show that the second–order condition for strict local extrema in both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems can be expressed solely in terms of principal minors of the (Lagrengean) [sic] Hessian. This approach unifies the determinantal tests in the sense that the second-order condition can be always given solely in terms of Hessian matrix.enBordered HessianHessian matrixArticle
