We fix an integer $d \in \mathbb{N}^*$, and we equip $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the usual inner product denoted $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ and the associated Euclidean norm $\|\cdot\|$. We denote $C := \{x \in \mathbb{R}^d \mid \|x\| \leq 1\}$ the closed unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $M$ be a nonzero real symmetric matrix of size $d \times d$ such that $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}^d,\, \langle x, Mx \rangle \geq 0$. We define $f(x) := -\frac{1}{2}\langle x, Mx \rangle$. Describe the set of minimizers of $f$ on $C$.
