qiskit.optimization.converters.IntegerToBinary

class IntegerToBinary

Convert a QuadraticProgram into new one by encoding integer with binary variables.

This bounded-coefficient encoding used in this converted is proposed in [1], Eq. (5).

Exemplos

>>> from qiskit.optimization.problems import QuadraticProgram
>>> from qiskit.optimization.converters import IntegerToBinary
>>> problem = QuadraticProgram()
>>> var = problem.integer_var(name='x', lowerbound=0, upperbound=10)
>>> conv = IntegerToBinary()
>>> problem2 = conv.convert(problem)

__init__()

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

__init__()	Initialize self.
convert(problem)	Convert an integer problem into a new problem with binary variables.
interpret(x)	Convert back the converted problem (binary variables) to the original (integer variables).

convert(problem)

Convert an integer problem into a new problem with binary variables.

Parâmetros

problem (QuadraticProgram) – The problem to be solved, that may contain integer variables.

Tipo de retorno

QuadraticProgram

Retorna

The converted problem, that contains no integer variables.

Levanta

QiskitOptimizationError – if variable or constraint type is not supported.

interpret(x)

Convert back the converted problem (binary variables) to the original (integer variables).

Parâmetros

x (Union[ndarray, List[float]]) – The result of the converted problem or the given result in case of FAILURE.

Tipo de retorno

ndarray

Retorna

The result of the original problem.
