TLDR
This paper considers the question of solving the quadratic programming problem of finding maximum of x T R x subject to x being a nonnegative vector with sum 1 and shows that for the class of simple graphs with resistance distance matrix ( R ) which are not necessarily a tree, this problem can be reformulated as a strictly convex quadratics programming problem.
Abstract
Quadratic programming problems involving distance matrix (D) that arises in trees are considered in the literature by Dankelmann (Discrete Math 312:12–20, 2012), Bapat and Neogy (Ann Oper Res 243:365–373, 2016). In this paper, we consider the question of solving the quadratic programming problem of finding maximum of $$x^{T}Rx$$ subject to x being a nonnegative vector with sum 1 and show that for the class of simple graphs with resistance distance matrix (R) which are not necessarily a tree, this problem can be reformulated as a strictly convex quadratic programming problem. An application to symmetric bimatrix game is also presented.

A universal noise-suppressing neural algorithm framework aided with nonconvex activation function for time-varying quadratic programming problems

TL;DR: In this paper , a nonconvex function activated implicit ZNN (NIZNN) model and a noise-suppressing implicit zeroing neural network (NNSIZNN) were proposed by the inspiration of the conventional ZNN model from a control-based framework, which guarantees an effective solution for TVQPPs in the presence of different noises.

Two-person nonzero-sum games and quadratic programming

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a necessary and sufficient condition that a point be a Nash equilibrium point of a two-person, nonzero-sum game with a finite number of pure strategies is that the point is a solution of a single programming problem with linear constraints and a quadratic objective function that has a global maximum of zero.

A Simple Method for Computing Resistance Distance

TL;DR: In this article, the Laplacian matrix of the graph G is used to compute the resistance distance between two vertices v i and v j of a (connected, molecular) graph G and the effective resistance between the respective two points of an electrical network, such that the resistance of any edge is unity.
