Quadratic Form

These are representations of vectors obtained from specific functions.

Definition

• Let $x\in {\mathbb{R}}^n$, A function $x^{T}Ax=f(x_1,\dots ,x_n)={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_{ij}{x}_i{x}_j$ creates quadratic form
• Let $x\in {\mathbb{C}}^n$, A function $x^{T}Ax=f(x_1,\dots ,x_n)={\sum }_{i=1}^n{\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_{ij}\overline{x_i}{x}_j$ creates quadratic form
