Definite quadratic form — In mathematics, a definite quadratic form is a real valued quadratic form over some vector space V that has the same sign (always positive or always negative) for every nonzero vector of V. The definite quadratic forms correspond in one to one… … Wikipedia
Quadratic form — In mathematics, a quadratic form is a homogeneous polynomial of degree two in a number of variables. For example, is a quadratic form in the variables x and y. Quadratic forms occupy a central place in various branches of mathematics, including… … Wikipedia
Definite bilinear form — In mathematics, a definite bilinear form is a bilinear form B over some vector space V (with real or complex scalar field) such that the associated quadratic form is definite, that is, has a real value with the same sign (positive or negative)… … Wikipedia
Isotropic quadratic form — In mathematics, a quadratic form over a field F is said to be isotropic if there is a non zero vector on which it evaluates to zero. Otherwise the quadratic form is anisotropic. More precisely, if q is a quadratic form on a vector space V over F … Wikipedia
Quadratic programming — (QP) is a special type of mathematical optimization problem. It is the problem of optimizing (minimizing or maximizing) a quadratic function of several variables subject to linear constraints on these variables.The quadratic programming problem… … Wikipedia

Positive-definite matrix — In linear algebra, a positive definite matrix is a matrix that in many ways is analogous to a positive real number. The notion is closely related to a positive definite symmetric bilinear form (or a sesquilinear form in the complex case). The… … Wikipedia
Binäre quadratische Form — Eine binäre quadratische Form (in diesem Artikel oft kurz nur Form genannt), ist in der Mathematik eine quadratische Form in zwei Variablen x,y, also ein Polynom der Gestalt , wobei a,b,c die Koeffizienten der Form sind. Die Form f mit schreibt… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Siegel modular form — In mathematics, Siegel modular forms are a major type of automorphic form. These stand in relation to the conventional elliptic modular forms as abelian varieties do in relation to elliptic curves; the complex manifolds constructed as in the… … Wikipedia
