In mathematics, the argument of the maximum (abbreviated arg max or argmax) is the set of points of the given argument for which the given function attains its maximum value.〔For clarity, we refer to the input (''x'') as ''points'' and the output (''y'') as ''values;'' compare critical point and critical value.〕 In contrast to global maximums, which refer to a function's largest outputs, the arg max refers to the inputs which create those maximum outputs. == Definition == The arg max is defined by : In other words, it is the set of points ''x'' for which ''f''(''x'') attains its largest value. This set may be empty, have one element, or have multiple elements. For example, if ''f''(''x'') is 1−|''x''|, then it attains its maximum value of 1 only at ''x'' = 0, so :. The arg max operator is the natural complement of the max operator which, given the same function, returns the maximum value instead of the point or points that reach that value; in other words : is the element in This set can contain no elements (in which case the maximum is undefined) or one element, but cannot contain multiple elements. Equivalently, if ''M'' is the maximum of ''f'', then the arg max is the level set of the maximum: : If the maximum is reached at a single point then this point is often referred to as ''the'' arg max, meaning we define the arg max as a point, not a set of points.
