In this paper, three different approaches are generalised to obtain upper bounds for the maximum of a quadratic pseudo-Boolean function f over [0,1]^n. The original approaches (complementation, majorization and linearization) were introduced by Hammer, Hansen and Simeone [9]. The generalization in this paper yields three upper bounds, C"k, M"k and L"k for each integer k = 2, where C"n = L"n = M"n is the maximum of f, and C"2 = L"2 = M"2 is the roof duality bound studied in [9]. It is proved that C"k = M"k = L"k for all values of k.
