QuadraticExpression

class QuadraticExpression(quadratic_program, coefficients)

ベースクラス: QuadraticProgramElement

Representation of a quadratic expression by its coefficients.

Creates a new quadratic expression.

The quadratic expression can be defined via an array, a list, a sparse matrix, or a dictionary that uses variable names or indices as keys and stores the values internally as a dok_matrix. We stores values in a compressed way, i.e., values at symmetric positions are summed up in the upper triangle. For example, {(0, 1): 1, (1, 0): 2} -> {(0, 1): 3}.

パラメータ:

• quadratic_program (Any) – The parent QuadraticProgram.

• coefficients (ndarray | spmatrix | List[List[float]] | Dict[Tuple[int | str, int | str], float]) – The (sparse) representation of the coefficients.
