- I've got a problem, which I think could probably be easily solved by
- someone who knows about Game theory or quadratic programming. The
- problem is that I have a quadratic cost function
-
- f(x,w) = x^T M(w) x
-
- where both the matrix M(w) and the vector x are variable. The
- individual elements x_k of x must satisfy linear constraints
-
- |x_k| < epsilon.
-
- The matrix M(w) varies with the real variable w in a well known
- structured way. What I want to know is what is the sup over x of the
- inf over w of f(x,w) ? I don't know anything about game theory, but I
- think this is the sort of problem tackled by it.
-
- Can someone give me some help and/or point me towards a relevant
- reference ?
