    The document discusses properties of convex functions and critical points of functions. It states that a function is convex if and only if the principal minors of its Hessian matrix are nonnegative everywhere. It then provides rules for determining if a critical point is a local maximum or minimum based on the sign and order of the first nonvanishing derivative. Specifically, it indicates that an odd-order derivative implies the point is not an extremum, while an even-order derivative can imply a maximum or minimum depending on if the derivative is positive or negative.
