Correction text:
A local minimum of a function $f$ is a point $x$ which has less value than all points "next to" it. If you imagine the function as a surface, then a local minimum is the bottom of a ``valley'' or ``bowl'' in the surface somewhere. Formally, it is said that $f\colon U \to V$ has a local minimum at $x$ if $\exists$ a neighborhood N of $x$ such that $\forall y \in N$, $f(x) \leq f(y)$.
