Does the value function of a quadratic program stay convex when adding constraints?

I am interested in the value function of a quadratic program of the form $$ v(y)=\min_x \frac{1}{2} x^\top Q(y) x, $$ subject to a linear equality constraint $$ E(y)x=d(y), $$ and a linear inequality …

Concavity of a function implicitly defined by a polynomial

Consider the following system of $n$ equations: \begin{equation}f_j^2 = x_j^2\sum_{i=1}^n A_{ij} f_i \tag{$\star$} \end{equation} where $A_{ij}\geq 0$ are known constants and where $x_j>0$ for all …
