Abstract. This paper presents an algorithm for solving a quadratic fractional program when some of its constraints are homogeneous. Using these homogeneous constraints a transformation matrix T is constructed. With the help of this matrix T, the given problem is transformed into another quadratic fractional program with fewer constraints. A relationship between the original problem and the transformed problem is also established which ensures that the solution of the original problem can be obtained from the transformed problem. The algorithm finds out the global optimal basic feasible solution of the quadratic fractional program and is illustrated with the help of a numerical example.
