The 17th-century physician Marcello Malpighi observed the existence of distinctive patterns of ridges and sweat glands on fingertips, catalyzing its widespread use in forensics, but also, more generally, inspiring research to develop ways to identify individuals based on unique biological characteristics. Today, this concept has expanded vastly into diverse data, and the term biometrics has been introduced to encompass all methods of automated human recognition, such as fingerprint, face, iris, retina, and voice analysis. More recently, neuroimaging data have been explored for this purpose, giving rise to the concept of “brain fingerprints,” derived from patterns of functional networks. This perspective challenges the classical view of neuroimaging analysis, which treats individuals as repeated measures of a population-level effect, where interindividual differences are considered noise rather than signal. In contrast, intersubject variability here represents the key feature in the data allowing the unique representation and identification of an individual. This marks a paradigm shift that has sparked a wave of new interdisciplinary research, branching from neuroscience to machine learning and signal processing.

Fractional programming (FP) is a branch of mathematical optimization that deals with the optimization of ratios. It is an invaluable tool for signal processing and machine learning, because many key metrics in these fields are fractionally structured, e.g., the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in wireless communications, the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) in radar sensing, the normalized cut in graph clustering, and the margin in support vector machine (SVM). This article provides a comprehensive review of both the theory and applications of a recently developed FP technique known as the quadratic transform, which can be applied to a wide variety of FP problems, including both the minimization and the maximization of the sum of functions of ratios as well as matrix-ratio problems.
