For a symmetric matrix with the associated quadratic form is an L-convex function [1,2]. Here we consider a quadratic L-convex function:
. In this web application, you can choose the dimension n from 1 to 7. You can input parameters aij and bi in the ranges -5 ≤ aij≤ 0, 0 < aii≤ 50 and -100 ≤ bi≤ 100. If the input does not satisfy the condition the unsatisfactory condition turns red. You can also input an initial solution x.
This web application minimizes f(x) using ODICON.
