Abstract: The article presents information on quadratic programming (QP). It deals with a special class of mathematical programs where a quadratic function of the decision variables needs to be optimized. QP has several types including unconstrained quadratic minimization problems, equality constrained quadratic minimization problems, and quadratic network optimization problems. QP can be used in finance, taxation, and equilibrium models.
