qiskit.optimization.converters.InequalityToEquality¶

class InequalityToEquality(mode='auto')[source]¶

Convert inequality constraints into equality constraints by introducing slack variables.

Exemples

>>> from qiskit.optimization.problems import QuadraticProgram
>>> from qiskit.optimization.converters import InequalityToEquality
>>> problem = QuadraticProgram()
>>> # define a problem
>>> conv = InequalityToEquality()
>>> problem2 = conv.convert(problem)

Paramètres

mode (str) –

To chose the type of slack variables. There are 3 options for mode.

”integer”: All slack variables will be integer variables.
”continuous”: All slack variables will be continuous variables
’auto”: Try to use integer variables but if it’s not possible,
use continuous variables

__init__(mode='auto')[source]¶

Methods

`__init__`([mode])	type mode `str`
`convert`(problem)	Convert a problem with inequality constraints into one with only equality constraints.
`decode`(result)	DEPRECATED Decode a result into another form using the information of conversion.
`encode`(problem)	DEPRECATED Encode a QuadraticProgram into another form and keep the information required to decode the result.
`interpret`(result)	Convert a result of a converted problem into that of the original problem.

Attributes

mode

Returns the mode of the converter

convert(problem)[source]¶

Convert a problem with inequality constraints into one with only equality constraints.

Paramètres

problem (QuadraticProgram) – The problem to be solved, that may contain inequality constraints.

Type renvoyé

QuadraticProgram

Renvoie

The converted problem, that contain only equality constraints.

Lève

QiskitOptimizationError – If a variable type is not supported.
QiskitOptimizationError – If an unsupported mode is selected.
QiskitOptimizationError – If an unsupported sense is specified.

decode(result)¶

DEPRECATED Decode a result into another form using the information of conversion.

Type renvoyé: OptimizationResult

encode(problem)¶

DEPRECATED Encode a QuadraticProgram into another form and keep the information required to decode the result.

Type renvoyé: QuadraticProgram

interpret(result)[source]¶

Convert a result of a converted problem into that of the original problem.

Paramètres: result (OptimizationResult) – The result of the converted problem or the given result in case of FAILURE.
Type renvoyé: OptimizationResult
Renvoie: The result of the original problem.

property mode¶

Returns the mode of the converter

Type renvoyé: str
Renvoie: The mode of the converter used for additional slack variables
