Hello!

I'm using Medium Scale quadprog algorithm from Optimization Toolbox and I'm looking materials about this algorithm. User Guide:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/optim/ug/brnox7l.html#brozzpo
says that it is an active-set strategy (also known as a projection method) similar to that of Gill et al., described in [18] and [17]. And than there is a long description of it.

To be honest, I don't fully understand it. Does anybody knows what is the full name of this method? Or anybody has some materials about it: books, articles, sites, practical use in some task (that would be the best for me ;)).

I'll be greatful for any help.
Best regards,
Student in need. :)

You must cite the references [17] and [18] and nothing else. If you want to know how active-set in quadratic programing method works, you can read a chapter in Nocedal book for example.
