ABSTRACT

The nonlinear programming problems, where the objective function is the ratio of a quadratic function and an affine one is referred to as quadratic fractional programming. These problems have been widely studied from both a theoretical and algorithmic point of view, due to their applications in several areas of modern research such as risk theory, portfolio theory, and location models. For details, we refer to Schaible [247], Barros [16], Bazaraa et al. [17], and Cambini and Carosi [33].
