You have a spurious closing curly bracket at the end of the objective
function. Your expression should read,
Minimize[{(0.83 u1 + 0.4 u2 - 0.25 u3 + 3 u4 + 0.16 v1 + 0.6 v2 +
1.25 v3 - 2 v4)
2 + (2 u1 - 0.16 u2 - 0.6 u3 - 1.25 u4 + 3 v1 + 0.83 v2 +
0.4 v3 - 0.25 v4)
2 + (0.4 u1 - 0.25 u2 + 3 u3 + 0.83 u4 + 0.6 v1 + 1.25 v2 -
2 v3 + 0.16 v4)
2 + (-1.25 u1 + 2 u2 - 0.16 u3 - 0.6 u4 - 0.25 v1 + 3 v2 +
0.83 v3 + 0.4 v4)
2 + (-0.25 u1 + 3 u2 + 0.83 u3 + 0.4 u4 + 1.25 v1 - 2 v2 +
