Quadratic Programming

Is this not the same as Quadratic programming? 68.174.98.161 22:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In quadratic programming, the constraints are linear. Here, they are quadratic. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 00:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see.. Thanks! 68.174.98.161 18:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The statement "If P0, … Pm are all positive semidefinite then the problem is convex." is correct, but the link to the convex set is somewhat misleading. A convex program is not quite the same as a convex set.

The statement "If these matrices are neither positive or negative semidefinite, the problem is non-convex" is technically correct but quite misleading. Apart from trivial cases, if a single matrix is not positive semidefinite then the problem is nonconvex.
