In mathematical optimization, a quadratically constrained quadratic program is an optimization problem in which both the objective function and the constraints are quadratic functions. It has the form

where P0, …, Pm are n-by-n matrices and x ∈ R is the optimization variable.

If P0, …, Pm are all positive semidefinite, then the problem is convex. If these matrices are neither positive nor negative semidefinite, the problem is non-convex. If P1, … ,Pm are all zero, then the constraints are in fact linear and the problem is a quadratic program.
