Oct 7, 2017 at 19:34 comment added Surb You mean the "hessian" should have a bounded eigenvalue ratio, right? This is definitely a sufficient condition as it implies that the function is then strongly convex and thus have a unique global minimizer. So your gradient descend will converge to this solution.
