QUADRATIC FORMS AND DEFINITE MATRICES

QUADRATIC FORMS AND DEFINITE MATRICES1. DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION OF QUADRATIC of a QUADRATIC A denote an n x n symmetric matrix with real entries andlet x denote an n x 1 column vector. Then Q = x Ax is said to be aquadratic form . Note thatQ=x Ax=( ) a11 ann (x1xn)=(x1,x2, ,xn) anixi =a11x21+a12x1x2+..+a1nx1xn+a21x2x1+a22x2 2+..+a2nx2xn+..+..+..+an1xnx1+an2xnx2+.. +annx2n= i jaijxixj(1)For example, consider the matrixA=[1221]and the vector x.

A negative semi-definite quadratic form is bounded above by the plane x = 0 but will touch the plane at more than the single point (0,0). It will touch the plane along a line. Figure 4 shows a negative-definite quadratic form. An indefinite quadratic form will notlie completely above or below the plane but will lie above
