Feb 19, 2011 at 8:40 comment added drbobmeister OK, so it looks like I was right. Thanks for clarifying, Tony.
Feb 19, 2011 at 8:30 comment added Tony It is a subvector. My bad word usage. I added a p.s. to clarify. Thanks for your suggestion, drbobmeister.

Feb 19, 2011 at 8:14 comment added drbobmeister @Tony: I'm having a little trouble understanding your question. Are the "subcomponents" orthogonal projections of $x$ onto a set of three (for example) mutually orthogonal, complementary subspaces whose sum is $R^{k}$, the space in which $x$ lives? That's my guess, but if you could clarify it might help folks to answer your question.
Feb 19, 2011 at 5:51 comment added Tony I want the quadratic expressions as close to 0 as possible, and since A is not positive-definite, I have to minimize the sum of squares. I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

Feb 19, 2011 at 4:16 comment added Gilead May I ask what the motivation is for making the quadratic expression a quartic one? Is it to avoid concave curvature? (at the expense of introducing multiple solutions)
