Find the extremas of $f(x,y,z)=xyz-x^2-y^2-z^2$
$begingroup$
Find the extremas of $f(x,y,z)=xyz-x^2-y^2-z^2$.
After some calculation, $Df(x,y,z)=0$ for and only for $$
\p_1=(0,0,0), p_2=(2,2,2),p_3=(-2,-2,2),p_4=(-2,2,-2),p_5=(2,-2,-2)
\ H(f)=begin{vmatrix}
-2 &z &y \
z & -2 &x \
y & x &-2
end{vmatrix}
$$
So this test helps only for the maxima $p_1$. About the other critical points, I've tried to calculate $f(x,y,z)-f(x+varepsilon ,y,z)$ but both for positive and negative $varepsilon$ the sign remains the same.

Take the point $p_2$. Then your matrix is$$begin{bmatrix}-2&2&2\2&-2&2\2&2&-2end{bmatrix},$$whose eigenvalues are $-4$ (twice) and $2$. So, $p_2$ is a saddle point of $f$. Apply the same approach to the other critical points.
