Abstract

If x, y, z are real numbers satisfying x + y + z = 1, then the maximum of the quadratic form axy + bxz + cyz with positive constants a, b, c is abc/2ab + 2ac + 2bc − a2 − b2 − c2 under the assumption √a < √b + √c. Extending this fact, we give the maximum of the quadratic form ∑1≤i<j≤n aijxixj in n-variables x1, …, xn satisfying ∑ni=1 xi = 1 with constants aij = 0 under certain assumptions.
