More generally, in the context of functions of several real variables, a stationary point that is not a local extremum is called a saddle point. | | A stationary point of inflection is not a local extremum.

| Some functions change concavity without having points of inflection. Instead, they can change concavity around vertical asymptotes or discontinuities. For example, the function <math>x\mapsto \frac1x</math> is concave for negative {{mvar|x}} and convex for positive {{mvar|x}}, but it has no points of inflection because 0 is not in the domain of the function. | | Some functions change concavity without having points of inflection.
