Let Φ:Πi=1rEi→R\Phi:\Pi_{i=1}^r E_i\to \mathbb{R} be a multilinear form on the Cartesian product of finitely many Euclidean vector spaces. We suppose that each factor EiE_i is equipped with its own closed convex cone KiK_i. We analyze the concept of critical point and critical value of Φ\Phi when each argument of this function is restricted to a normalization constraint and a conic constraint. Our study encompasses the theory of cone-constrained singular values of bilinear and trilinear forms.
