x1, ! (input) numerical, string or element expression
x2, ! (input) numerical, string or element expression
...
)
Arguments¶
- x1,x2,…
Multiple numerical, string or element expressions.
Return Value¶
The function
Max
returns the largest number, the string highest in the lexicographical ordering, or the element value with the highest ordinal value, among \(x1,x2,\dots\)

can be used in constraints of nonlinear
mathematical programs. However, nonlinear solvers may experience
convergence problems if the first order derivatives of two arguments
between which the Max
function switches are discontinous.
