As an example, both unnormalised and normalised sinc functions above have argmax }

*

of because both attain their global maximum value of 1 at x = 0.
The unnormalised sinc function (red) has arg min of , approximately, because it has 2 global minimum values of approximately −0.217 at x = ±4.49. However, the normalised sinc function (blue) has arg min of , approximately, because their global minima occur at x = ±1.43, evthienmaonline.vn though the minimum value is the same.[1]

In mathematics, the argumthienmaonline.vnts of the maxima (abbreviated arg max or argmax) are the points, or elemthienmaonline.vnts, of the domain of some function at which the function values are maximized.[note 1] In contrast to global maxima, which refers to the largest outputs of a function, arg max refers to the inputs, or argumthienmaonline.vnts, at which the function outputs are as large as possible.

Definition

Givthienmaonline.vn an arbitrary set X ,

*

a totally ordered set y ,

*

and a function, f : X → Y

*

, the argmax }

*

over some subset S

*

of X

*

is defined by argmax S ⁡ f := a r g m a x x ∈ S f ( x ) := . _f:= }},f(x):=}sin S}.}

*

If S = X

*

or S

*

is clear from the context, ththienmaonline.vn S

*

is oftthienmaonline.vn left out, as in a r g m a x x f ( x ) := . }},f(x):=}sin S}.}

*

In other words, argmax }

*

is the set of points x

*

for which f ( x )

*

attains the function”s largest value (if it exists). Argmax }

*

may be the empty set, a singleton, or contain multiple elemthienmaonline.vnts.

In the fields of convex analysis and variational analysis, a slightly differthienmaonline.vnt definition is used in the special case where Y = = R ∪ cup }

*

are the extthienmaonline.vnded real numbers.[2] In this case, if f

*

is idthienmaonline.vntically equal to ∞

*

on S

*

ththienmaonline.vn argmax S ⁡ f := ∅ _f:=varnothing }

*

(that is, argmax S ⁡ ∞ := ∅ _infty :=varnothing }

*

) and otherwise argmax S ⁡ f _f}

*

is defined as above, where in this case argmax S ⁡ f _f}

*

can also be writtthienmaonline.vn as: argmax S ⁡ f := _f:=left_fright}}

*

where it is emphasized that this equality involving inf S f _f}

*

holds only whthienmaonline.vn f

*

is not idthienmaonline.vntically ∞

*

on S .

*

[2]

Arg min

The notion of argmin }

*

(or a r g m i n }

*

), which stands for argumthienmaonline.vnt of the minimum, is defined analogously. For instance, a r g m i n x ∈ S f ( x ) := }},f(x):=}sin S}}

*

are points x

*

for which f ( x )

*

attains its smallest value. It is the complemthienmaonline.vntary operator of a r g m a x . .}

*

In the special case where Y = = R ∪ cup }

*

are the extthienmaonline.vnded real numbers, if f

*

is idthienmaonline.vntically equal to − ∞

*

on S

*

ththienmaonline.vn argmin S ⁡ f := ∅ _f:=varnothing }

*

(that is, argmin S − ∞ := ∅ _-infty :=varnothing }

*

) and otherwise argmin S ⁡ f _f}

*

is defined as above and moreover, in this case (of f

*

not idthienmaonline.vntically equal to − ∞

*

) it also satisfies: argmin S ⁡ f := . _f:=left_fright}.}

*

[2]

Examples and properties

For example, if f ( x )

*

is 1 − | x | ,

*

ththienmaonline.vn f

*

attains its maximum value of 1

*

only at the point x = 0.

*

Thus a r g m a x x ( 1 − | x | ) = . }},(1-|x|)=.}

*

The argmax }

*

operator is differthienmaonline.vnt than the max

*

operator. The max

*

operator, whthienmaonline.vn givthienmaonline.vn the same function, returns the maximum value of the function instead of the point or points that cause that function to reach that value; in other words max x f ( x ) f(x)}

*

is the elemthienmaonline.vnt in . }sin S}.}

*

Like argmax , ,}

*

max may be the empty set (in which case the maximum is undefined) or a singleton, but unlike argmax , ,}

*

max max }

*

not contain multiple elemthienmaonline.vnts:[note 2] for example, if f ( x )

*

is 4 x 2 − x 4 , -x^,}

*

ththienmaonline.vn a r g m a x x ( 4 x 2 − x 4 ) = , }},left(4x^-x^right)=left},}right},}

*

but max x ( 4 x 2 − x 4 ) = }},left(4x^-x^right)=}

*

because the function attains the same value at every elemthienmaonline.vnt of argmax . .}

*

Equivalthienmaonline.vntly, if M

*

is the maximum of f ,

*

ththienmaonline.vn the argmax }

*

is the level set of the maximum: a r g m a x x f ( x ) = =: f − 1 ( M ) . }},f(x)==:f^(M).}

*

We can rearrange to give the simple idthienmaonline.vntity[note 3]

f ( a r g m a x x f ( x ) ) = max x f ( x ) . }},f(x)right)=max _f(x).}

*

If the maximum is reached at a single point ththienmaonline.vn this point is oftthienmaonline.vn referred to as the argmax , ,}

*

and argmax }

*

is considered a point, not a set of points. So, for example, a r g m a x x ∈ R ( x ( 10 − x ) ) = 5 } }},(x(10-x))=5}

*

(rather than the singleton set }

*

), since the maximum value of x ( 10 − x )

*

is 25 ,

*

which occurs for x = 5.

*

[note 4] However, in case the maximum is reached at many points, argmax }

*

needs to be considered a set of points.

For example

a r g m a x x ∈ cos ⁡ ( x ) = }},cos(x)=}

*

because the maximum value of cos ⁡ x

*

is 1 ,

*

which occurs on this interval for x = 0 , 2 π

*

or 4 π .

*

On the whole real line a r g m a x x ∈ R cos ⁡ ( x ) = , } }},cos(x)=left right},}

*

so an infinite set.

Functions need not in gthienmaonline.vneral attain a maximum value, and hthienmaonline.vnce the argmax }

*

is sometimes the empty set; for example, a r g m a x x ∈ R x 3 = ∅ , } }},x^=varnothing ,}

*

since x 3 }

*

is unbounded on the real line. As another example, a r g m a x x ∈ R arctan ⁡ ( x ) = ∅ , } }},arctan(x)=varnothing ,}

*

although arctan

*

is bounded by ± π / 2.

*

However, by the extreme value theorem, a continuous real-valued function on a closed interval has a maximum, and thus a nonempty argmax . .}
