    Positive Semidefinite Quadratic Form

    Definition

    A quadratic form Q(x) is said to be positive semidefinite if it is never <0. However, unlike a positive definite quadratic form, there may exist a x0 such that the form is zero. The quadratic form, written in the form (x, A x), is positive semidefinite iff every eigenvalue of A is nonnegative.
