LinearEqualityToPenalty
Convert a problem with only equality constraints to unconstrained with penalty terms.
Methods
encode
LinearEqualityToPenalty.encode(op, penalty_factor=100000.0, name=None)
Convert a problem with equality constraints into an unconstrained problem.
Parameters
- op (
QuadraticProgram) – The problem to be solved, that does not contain inequality constraints. - penalty_factor (
float) – Penalty terms in the objective function is multiplied with this factor. - name (
Optional[str]) – The name of the converted problem.
Return type
Returns
The converted problem, that is an unconstrained problem.
Raises
QiskitOptimizationError – If an inequality constraint exists.
