Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, criteria for quasiconvex and pseudoconvex quadratic functions in nonnegative variables of Cottle, Ferland, and Martos are derived by specializing criteria proved by the author. We do not make use of the concept of positive subdefinite matrices. Instead, we are specializing criteria that were derived for quadratic functions on arbitrary convex sets to the special case of quadratic functions in nonnegative variables. The second purpose of this paper is to present several new criteria involving also strictly pseudoconvex quadratic functions.The author wishes to thank Professor R. W. Cottle for helpful discussions. |
