CG¶

class CG(maxiter=20, disp=False, gtol=1e-05, tol=None, eps=1.4901161193847656e-08, options=None, max_evals_grouped=1, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.scipy_optimizer.SciPyOptimizer

Conjugate Gradient optimizer.

CG is an algorithm for the numerical solution of systems of linear equations whose matrices are symmetric and positive-definite. It is an iterative algorithm in that it uses an initial guess to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a problem, in which each approximation is derived from the previous ones. It is often used to solve unconstrained optimization problems, such as energy minimization.

Uses scipy.optimize.minimize CG. For further detail, please refer to https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.minimize.html

Parameters

maxiter (int) – Maximum number of iterations to perform.
disp (bool) – Set to True to print convergence messages.
gtol (float) – Gradient norm must be less than gtol before successful termination.
tol (Optional[float]) – Tolerance for termination.
eps (float) – If jac is approximated, use this value for the step size.
options (Optional[dict]) – A dictionary of solver options.
max_evals_grouped (int) – Max number of default gradient evaluations performed simultaneously.
kwargs – additional kwargs for scipy.optimize.minimize.

Methods

`get_support_level`	Return support level dictionary

`set_max_evals_grouped`	Set max evals grouped
`set_options`	Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
`wrap_function`	Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.
