In this paper we study the problem of maximizing a quadratic form 銆圓x,x銆?/span> subject to 鈥杧鈥?sub>q=1, where A has matrix entries with i,j|k and q≥1. We investigate when the optimum is achieved at a ‘multiplicative’ point; i.e. where x1xmn=xmxn. This turns out to depend on both f and q, with a marked difference appearing as q varies between 1 and 2. We prove some partial results and conjecture that for f multiplicative such that a369bbbeeba0c7fab5" title="Click to view the MathML source">0<f(p)<1, the solution is at a multiplicative point for all q≥1.
