Let f ( x , y ) = x 2 + y 2 and g ( x , y ) = x 2 y 2

Let f(x, y)= x
2+ y
2 and g(x, y)= x
2 y
2
. Verify that f(0,0)= g(0,0)=(0,0) and both Hf (0,0)
and Hg(0,0 are positive semi-definite. Prove that 0,0) is a point of local minima for f but not for
g. Does this contradict the second-order necessary or sufficient conditions for the existence of local
minima?
