요약	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.	Convex optimization is a subfield of mathematical optimization that studies the problem of minimizing convex functions over convex sets. Formalized and popularized by Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe in their landmark 2004 textbook, the framework unifies a wide family of problems — including linear programming, quadratic programming, semidefinite programming, and second-order cone programming — under a single theoretical roof. Its defining property is that any locally optimal solution is also globally optimal, making it tractable and reliable for engineering, statistics, machine learning, and operations research.
