Do almost all systems of quadratic equations have solutions?
Yes. The magic words are "elimination theory" and "resultant". In essence, the system has a solution unless some determinant (the iterated resultant) vanishes.

Asymptotic formula for sums of four squares?
Note that
$$L(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} r_4(n)$$ is the number of lattice points in the ball of radius $\sqrt{x}.$
It is known that $$L(x) = \frac{\pi^2}2 x^2 + O(x \log(x)).$$ (the error term can be impr …

Listing all solutions to $n = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 $ with integers
The number of representation can be as big as $\sqrt{n},$ so this is a lower bound on the complexity of any algorithm. Now, the algorithm is to iterate through all $k\leq \sqrt{n},$ and try to represe …

maximizing convex quadratic form over the intersection of unit sphere and positive orthant
The magic words are quadratically constrained quadratic programming. And semidefinite programming.
EDIT I misread the question (it is a convex maximization problem). This is still somewhat tractable …

A nice necessary and sufficient condition on positive semi-definiteness of a matrix with a s...
I very much doubt that a necessary and sufficient condition exists. For example, for finite element approximations to the Laplacian in a planar domain, you will get the (potentially non-zero) off-diag …

Simultaneous quadratic equations
The magic word is "elimination". The obvious thing to do is to solve the first equation for $\mu_2$ in terms of $\mu_1.$ You will have two roots. Plug in each one into the second equation, expressing …

on the determination of a quadratic form from its isotropy group in char. 2
The theory in general characteristic is covered by these nice notes of Casselman's
