While self-studying and planning on doing some small-time research/fun based on Philip Wolf's "The Simplex Method for Quadratic Programming", I got interested in the notion of quadratic programming from that paper. Therefore, I am looking for a more mathematically/theoretically defined entry-level book for quadratic optimization - akin to an entry-level book one would find with linear or non-linear programming in which it's well suited for self-studying with exercises and background history of how algorithms or methods came to be. I was browsing around and found the following:
Optimal Quadratic Programming Algorithms: With Applications to Variational Inequalities
- Doesn't seem entry-level into the topic, talks about prior publications from journals.
Quadratic Programming with Computer Programs (Advances in Applied Mathematics)
- Comes off as too applied.
Thus, any insight on this would be beneficial, as this seems like a fun field to learn on a more formal level.
