What you have (if C is positive definite) is the intersection between the boundary of an ellipse and the interior of a parallelepiped, where the center of the ellipse and one corner of the parallelepiped is at (0,0).
This is the union of between zero and three curve segments (hmm, maybe only two) and I don't think any of the standard solvers and minimizers can come up with that kind of result. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
