Hi all,
  I need to plot a surface 
  f(a,b) = a^2-2*c(a,b)+b^2; given the boundary conditions c(a,b)< ab

  Here c(a,b) is another function of (a,b) given by
  c(a,b) = 0.1*(a-1)^2+0.1*(b-1)^2-0.01

Is there a direct command to set these boundary conditions...?? If i give 

f[a_, b_] := If[c[a, b] < a*b, a^2 + b^2 - 2*c[a, b],];

Plot3D[f[a, b], {a, 0, 2}, {b, 0, 2}, AxesLabel -> {"a", "b", "f"}, 
  ViewPoint -> {2, 2, 2}]

I get error messages for the values of a and b for which f(a,b) doesnot exist.

Can anybody please tell me how i can get this plot?

Thanks
raj
