A potential well is the region surrounding a local minimum of potential energy.

However, as in many other data mining applications a local minimum may still prove to be useful.

An important problem involved with this solution is the possibility of local minima.

We're looking for the local minimum and the local maximum.

They may settle comfortably into a local minimum, a higher valley.

In this work, we place a milder condition on the training by only asking that the native be near a local minimum.

The idea is to make the local minimum more costly than the surrounding search space, where these features are not present.

In a chemical bond, the energy is at a local minimum.

If and then is a local minimum of f.

Thus, such a core is a local minimum, though not necessarily a global one.
