Summary :

This paper gives two kinds of functions for which Uesaka's Conjecture, stating that the globally optimum (not a local minimum) of a quadratic function F(x)=-(1/2)xtAx in the n-dimensional hypercube may be obtained by solving a differential equation, holds true, where n denotes the dimension of the vector x. Uesaka stated in his paper that he proved the conjecture only for n=2. This corresponds to a very special case of this paper. The results of this paper suggest that the conjecture really holds for a wide class of quadratic functions and therefore support the conjecture partially.
