Parameters:

qubo_optimizer (OptimizationAlgorithm | None) – An instance of OptimizationAlgorithm that can effectively solve QUBO problems. If not specified then MinimumEigenOptimizer initialized with an instance of NumPyMinimumEigensolver will be used.
continuous_optimizer (OptimizationAlgorithm | None) – An instance of OptimizationAlgorithm that can solve continuous problems. If not specified then SlsqpOptimizer will be used.
params (ADMMParameters | None) – An instance of ADMMParameters.

Attributes

parameters#

Returns current parameters of the optimizer.

Methods

get_compatibility_msg(problem)[source]#

Checks whether a given problem can be solved with the optimizer implementing this method.

Parameters:: problem (QuadraticProgram) – The optimization problem to check compatibility.
Returns:: Returns the incompatibility message. If the message is empty no issues were found.
Return type:: str

is_compatible(problem)#

Checks whether a given problem can be solved with the optimizer implementing this method.

Parameters:: problem (QuadraticProgram) – The optimization problem to check compatibility.
Returns:: Returns True if the problem is compatible, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

solve(problem)[source]#

Tries to solves the given problem using ADMM algorithm.

Parameters:: problem (QuadraticProgram) – The problem to be solved.
Returns:: The result of the optimizer applied to the problem.
Raises:: QiskitOptimizationError – If the problem is not compatible with the ADMM optimizer.
Return type:: ADMMOptimizationResult
