Quadratic Programming/Evidence
Method evidence record

Quadratic Programming

Quadratic Programming (QP) is a class of constrained mathematical optimization in which the objective function is quadratic and the constraints are linear. Formalized by Frank and Wolfe (1956) through their gradient-based feasible-direction algorithm, QP is foundational in operations research, finance, machine learning, and engineering design wherever one must minimize a convex (or non-convex) quadratic cost subject to linear feasibility conditions.
