Let $E: R^n \backslash \{0\} \to R^+$ be a infinitely differentiable, quadratic positive homogeneous (that is, for any λ>0 and $p \in R^n \backslash \{0\}$ , $E (\lambda p) = \lambda^2 E (p)$). Prove that if the second derivative of $E''(p): R^n \times R^n \to R$ is a non-degenerate bilinear form at any point $p \in R^n \backslash \{0\}$, then $E''(p)$ ($p \in R^n \backslash \{0\}$) is positive definite.
