Finding maximum or minimum of implicit functions
is there any built in function that can be used to find maximum or minimum of implicit functions?
For example, if we have the equation
$$x^2 + y^2 = (2 x^2 + 2 y^2 - x)^2,$$
then we can visualize the ...

Solve / brute-force for parameters that drive a function to zero at specified points
Edit: Made question a lot easier to read.
Simple example.
- Consider $p(x,y,z,t) = e^t(ax^2 + by^2 + cz^2)$ and I seek the values of $a,b,c$ which make $p\approx0$ at the point $(x=r\cos\theta,y=r\...
