This paper presents a group of analytical formulas for calculating the global maximal and minimal ranks and inertias of the quadratic matrix-valued function ϕ(X) = ( AXB + C )M( AXB + C)* + D and use them to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the two types of multiple quadratic matrix-valued function align* ( ∑i = 1kAiXiBi + C )M( ∑i = 1kAiXiBi + C )* +D, ∑i = 1k( AiXiBi + Ci )Mi( AiXiBi + Ci )* +D align* to be semi-definite, respectively, where Ai, Bi, Ci, C, D, Mi and M are given matrices with Mi, M and D Hermitian, i =1,..., k. Löwner partial ordering optimizations of the two matrix-valued functions are studied and their solutions are characterized.
