Quadratic programming (QP) is the process of solving certain mathematical optimization problems involving quadratic functions. Specifically, one seeks to optimize (minimize or maximize) a multivariate quadratic function subject to linear constraints on the variables.
Since the quadratic form is a scalar quantity, = (). Next, by the cyclic property of the trace operator, [ ()] = [ ()]. Since the trace operator is a linear combination of the components of the matrix, it therefore follows from the linearity of the expectation operator that
A comparison of the convergence of gradient descent with optimal step size (in green) and conjugate vector (in red) for minimizing a quadratic function associated with a given linear system. Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2).
Let q be a quadratic form defined on an n-dimensional real vector space. Let A be the matrix of the quadratic form q in a given basis. This means that A is a symmetric n × n matrix such that =, where x is the column vector of coordinates of v in the chosen basis.

Quadratic programming are the next-simplest. In QP, the constraints are all linear, but the objective may be a convex quadratic function. Second order cone programming are more general. Semidefinite programming are more general. Conic optimization are even more general - see figure to the right, Other special cases include; Least squares
Convex quadratically constrained quadratic programs can also be formulated as SOCPs by reformulating the objective function as a constraint. [4] Semidefinite programming subsumes SOCPs as the SOCP constraints can be written as linear matrix inequalities (LMI) and can be reformulated as an instance of semidefinite program. [4]
The standard convergence condition (for any iterative method) is when the spectral radius of the iteration matrix is less than 1: ((+)) < A sufficient (but not necessary) condition for the method to converge is that the matrix A is strictly or irreducibly diagonally dominant. Strict row diagonal dominance means that for each row, the absolute ...
