For example. If we have a function of two variables, how to find the points at which this function has extreme values? My problem is related with periodik functions.

You could try FMINSEARCH, or a solver from the Optimization Toolbox.

As the functions involved are said to be periodic, there are potentially an infinite number of solutions, and the question is about finding "the points at which this function has extreme values" which could thus involve finding an infinite number of solutions, which will take an infinite amount of time. When do you need the answer?
