If we do not allow the endpoints to be considered local maxima, by declaring the interval to be open-ended, then not every segment will have a local maximum. Why would I do this? Because then the number of local maxima is conserved when we remove intervals from the domain.

I'm not tweaking the domains. More like tweaking the definition of "peak". If you'd like, I could define a new term, "jay-peak", which is thus defined, and which is conserved when removing intervals from domains. The problem is that "peak" is somewhat vague. Not every interval contains a local maximum, anyway. |

Does every open-ended interval contain a local maximum? |

No, it doesn't. Let us imagine a monotonically increasing function f over an open-ended domain D, which is (a, b). For any number x within D that is not b, there will be another number m such that f(m)>f(x). b is not an acceptable input number, since it is not within the domain. Ergo there can be no local maximum. |

Ergo there can be no local maximum. OK, you are correct. I misinterpreted the "open-ended" part. I thought you meant "the domain extends out to infinity in both directions." If you pick a domain interval with the endpoints then you must have a greatest f(x) value. With the endpoints removed then yes, there is no maximum f(x). I apologize for the confusion. .
