Quadratic Programming and Cone Programming
Solve problems with quadratic objectives and linear constraints or with
conic constraints
Before you begin to solve an optimization problem, you must choose the appropriate approach: problem-based or solver-based. For details, see First Choose Problem-Based or Solver-Based Approach.
For the problem-based approach, create problem variables, and then
represent the objective function and constraints in terms of these symbolic
variables. For the problem-based steps to take, see Problem-Based Optimization Workflow. To
solve the resulting problem, use solve.
For the solver-based steps to take, including defining the objective
function and constraints, and choosing the appropriate solver, see Solver-Based Optimization Problem Setup. To solve the
resulting problem, use quadprog or coneprog.
