Bordered hessian is a matrix method to optimize an objective function fx,y where there are two factors x and y mentioned here, the word optimization is used here because in real life there are always limitations constraints which we have to consider and we have to maximize if it is output or utility function or minimize if it is a cost function with respect to the limitation.

If the hessian is negative definite then your function is concave. Because hessians are also symmetric the original and the transpose are the same, they have a special property that their eigenvalues will always be real numbers. Basically, in an equalityconstrained optimization problem, the hessian matrix of the lagrangian not just the hessian of the maxmin objective z needs to be tested for positive or negative definiteness or semidefiniteness, not in the whole space, but only in tangent planes of the. We know that it is quasiconcave, and our textbook tells us that if a function is quasiconcave and homogeneous of degree 1 it is concave. The hessian matrix was developed in the 19th century by the german mathematician ludwig otto hesse and later named after him. The principal minors of this matrix are the determinants d2.

Further notes on the bordered hessian matrix cmu math. To mark the difference and diminish the risk of confusion, we indicate as hx the function considered and, somewhat paradoxically, write in italic the terms convexity and quasiconvexity in the presentation of their properties.
I if f is concave, then it is quasiconcave, so you might start by checking for concavity.
