$begingroup$

The red circle shows where the curvature on the function changes sign. (Perhaps this is what the OP seeks... hard to know.)



enter image description here



Here's a cross section (in blue) and the second derivative (in tan), which changes sign at radius = 1.

    Let me guess his circle is the boundary of the set of $(x,y)$ values for which the Hessian matrix is negative definite. And that his textbook or notebook has a non-standard definition of concavity.

  • $begingroup$
    that's right except I haven't learned about Hessian matrix so is there any way to find the that circle without using Hessian matrix?

    @kimchilover: Given the level of sophistication of the OP (his reputation is $6$), I strongly doubt he's working with Hessians.

  • $begingroup$
    @AndyLam, maybe you should spell out exactly what "concavities of a function" means in your textbook or course? I think there is a terminology mismatch going on. To me, a function is concave on all of its range at once, or not; I'm afraid to you a function can be concave at particular points and not others. What is your official precise definition of "concave"?
