Strict Local Maximum: Also known as
A strict local maximum is also known as a strict relative maximum.
Some sources refer to this as a local maximum and do not consider the situation where $\forall x \in \openint c d: \map f x \le \map f \xi$.
Some sources assume local as given, and merely refer to this as a maximum or strict maximum.
