How to maximize this function

100 Views Asked by At

We are in an euclidian space, and we have to maximize the quadratic form : $x\in B\rightarrow (x|u) (x|v) $where $u$ and $v$ are two given vectors, and $B=\{x:||x||\leq1\}$

I don't find where i have to begin...

Sorry, i have finally found the answer. It becomes easy if you use the orthogonal projection $p(x)$ of $x$ on $Vect(u,v)$. Then it is one bidimensional problem.
