Reason: First published version. Local minimum, and strict local minimum, of a real-valued function at a point relative to a subset of a metric space.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let AXA\subseteq X, let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the order \le of its ordered field structure, where a<ba<b means that aba\le b and aba\ne b, let u:ARu:A\to\mathbb{R}, and let xAx\in A.

We say that uu has a local minimum at xx relative to AA if there exists δR\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta such that every yAy\in A satisfying d(x,y)<δd(x,y)<\delta satisfies

u(x)u(y).u(x)\le u(y).

We say that uu has a strict local minimum at xx relative to AA if there exists δR\delta\in\mathbb{R} with 0<δ0<\delta such that every yAy\in A satisfying d(x,y)<δd(x,y)<\delta and yxy\ne x satisfies

u(x)<u(y).u(x)<u(y).
