This book develops a unified theory on qualitative aspects of nonconvex quadratic programming and affine variational inequalities. One special feature of the book is that when a certain property of a characteristic map or function is investigated, the authors always try first to establish necessary conditions for it to hold, then they go on to study whether the obtained necessary conditions are also sufficient ones. This helps to clarify the structures of the two classes of problems under consideration. The qualitative results can be used for dealing with algorithms and applications related to quadratic programming problems and affine variational inequalities.
