Are square configurations the only critical points of the energy on the circle?

$\newcommand{\S}{\mathbb{S}^1}$ $\newcommand{\la}{\lambda}$Let$$M=\{(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4) \in (\S)^4\,\, |\,\, \text{ all the } x_i \, \text{ are distinct}\} $$ Define $E:M \to \mathbb{R}$ by $$E(x_1,x_2 …

Is a function of several variables convex near a local minimum when the derivatives are non-...

This is a cross-post. Let $U \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ be an open subset, and let $f:U \to \mathbb R$ be smooth. Suppose that $x \in U$ is a strict local minimum point of $f$. Let $df^k(x):(\mathbb R^n)^ …

Is the minimum of a constraint optimization problem differentiable in the constraint parameter?

Let $h:\mathbb R^{>0}\to \mathbb R^{\ge 0}$ be a smooth function, satisfying $h(1)=0$, and suppose that $h(x)$ is strictly increasing on $[1,\infty)$, and strictly decreasing on $(0,1]$. Let $s>0$ b …

Is the optimum of this problem convex in the constraint parameter?

Let $f:\mathbb R^+ \to \mathbb R$ be a smooth function, satisfying $f(1)=0$, and suppose that $|f|$ grows with the distance from $1$: $|f(x)|$ is strictly increasing when $x \ge 1$, and strictly dec …
