quadprog_test

quadprog_test, a MATLAB program which calls quadprog() to solve problems in quadratic programming.

quadprog() is a built-in MATLAB function for solving quadratic programming problems of the form:

        minimize    1/2 x' H x + f' x
        subject to: A x <= b     (inequality constraints)
                    B x =  c     (equality constraints)
                    d <= x <= e  (lower and upper variable bound constraints)

where H is a positive definite symmetric matrix, and the constraints are optional. The most common problems involve the addition of some inequality constraints, which makes this problem similar to typical linear programming problems.
