Finding the local minimum of a function in Mathematica?

Posted 3 years ago

Hello guys,

I have a system of 3 ODEs that yields the attached graph when solved numerically. I was wondering: how can I calculate the local minimum of the green curve in this graph? Is this possible?

You can use the WhenEvent handling in NDSolve to detect when a derivative becomes zero, and thereby locate stationary points.

Hi Alex,

There is not enough information provided to answer the question. Do you have the functional form or a list of points or, ... Take a look at FindMinimum and this.
