+             This function solves the following quadratic program:
+<pre>
+   Minimize: f(alpha) == 0.5*trans(alpha)*Q*alpha + trans(b)*alpha 
+   subject to the following box constraints on alpha:
+      0 &lt;= min(alpha-lower)
+      0 &lt;= max(upper-alpha)
+   Where f is convex.  This means that Q should be positive-semidefinite.
