# KSPQCGGetQuadratic
Gets the value of the quadratic function, evaluated at the new iterate: 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPQCGGetQuadratic(KSP ksp, PetscReal *quadratic)
```
q(s) = g^T * s + 0.5 * s^T * H * s

which satisfies the Euclidian Norm trust region constraint

|| D * s || <= delta,

where

delta is the trust region radius,
g is the gradient vector, and
H is Hessian matrix,
D is a scaling matrix.
