Question: Consider the minimization problemminxinR3f(x)where fis a convex function and the point x*is such that gradf(x*)=0. The eigenvalues of theHessian matrix grad2f(x*) are such that 1=0,2=1,3=3.

Consider the minimization problemminxinR3f(x)where fis a convex function and the point x*is such that gradf(x*)=0. The eigenvalues of theHessian matrix grad2f(x*) are such that 1=0,2=1,3=3. Then(a) the point x*is a local maximizer,(b) the point x*is a global minimizer,(c) the point x*is a stationary point but not enough information to decide(d) the point x*is neither minimizer nor maximizer.
