Definite Quadratic Form - Associated Symmetric Bilinear Form

Associated Symmetric Bilinear Form

Quadratic forms correspond in one-to-one way to symmetric bilinear forms over the same space. A symmetric bilinear form is also described as definite, semidefinite, etc. according to its associated quadratic form. A quadratic form Q and its associated symmetric bilinear form B are related by the following equations:
