  Why the optimization step of the algorithm a quadratic program? *[See: [Apprenticeship Learning via Inverse Reinforcement Learning](https://ai.stanford.edu/~ang/papers/icml04-apprentice.pdf); page 3]*
  
  Isn't the objective function linear? Why don't we treat the problem as LPQC (linear program with quadratic constraints)?
