            Abstract : 
This paper proves that nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programs can be solved in polynomial time when their underlying graph is acyclic, provided the constraints satisfy a certain technical condition. We demonstrate this theory on optimal power-flow problems over tree networks.
