Applications of function HESS are easier to visualize in the RPN mode.
Consider as an example the function φ(X,Y,Z) = X
function HESS to function φ in the following example. The screen shots show
the RPN stack before and after applying function HESS.
When applied to a function of two variables, the gradient in level 2, when
made equal to zero, represents the equations for critical points, i.e., ∂φ/∂x
0, while the matrix in level 3 represent second derivatives. Thus, the results
from the HESS function can be used to analyze extrema in functions of two
variables. For example, for the function f(X,Y) = X
follows in RPN mode:
'X^3-3*X-Y^2+5' ` ['X','Y'] `

The variables s1 and s2, at this point, contain the vectors ['X=-1','Y=0] and
['X=1','Y=0], respectively. The Hessian matrix is at level 1 at this point.
