I have read in various papers that we can write a Quadratic equation with symmetric matrix as a linear programming problem. For example
f(x)=xTQx+c =2x1^2+3x2^2-1
where Q=[2 0;0 3]; Now we can write
Q=HTH
So we can write
A=[I Hx ; xTHT −c];
A=[1 0 1.4142x1 ; 0 1 1.7321x2 ; 1.4142x1 1.7321x2 1];
where I is identity matrix and the matrix A is linear in variables of vector x, rather than quadratic. Now determinant of A is exactly equal to the quadratic equation f(x).
But I have some problem in understanding the matrix A.
1) It has three equation. If I want to solve it for x1 and x2, the three equations doesn't hold.
2) How can I calculate the basis for the matrix A in x1 and x2?
