Summary:
We show more simpler representations of optimal solutions using level set and two conditions for an unconstrained optimization problem: 1) a necessary and sufficient optimality for a Morse function and 2) an existence condition of an optimal solution for a polynomial objective function. We also estimate the number of solutions for the following two kinds of objective functions: 1) univariate polynomial functions and 2) separable functions.
