Abstract
Given the symmetric matrix \(Q = \left\{ {qij} \right\} \in {R^{n \times n}}\) and the constraint matrix \(A = \left\{ {{a_{ij}}} \right\} \in {R^{m \times n}}\), we consider the quadratic programming (QP) problem with linear and boolean constraints
Note that the constraint x 2 j =1 will force x j = 1 or x j = −1, making it a boolean variable.
