    Abstract

    A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive
    definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to
    this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work
    we extend this result to infinite dimensional complex Hilbert spaces, making
    use of the generalized inverse of an operator. A generalization is given for
    positive diagonizable and arbitrary positive operators, not necessarily
    invertible, considering as constraint a singular operator.
