Variable
class Variable(quadratic_program, name, lowerbound=0, upperbound=1e+20, vartype=<VarType.CONTINUOUS: 0>)
Bases: qiskit.optimization.problems.quadratic_program_element.QuadraticProgramElement
Representation of a variable.
Creates a new Variable.
The variables is exposed by the top-level QuadraticProgram class in QuadraticProgram.variables. This constructor is not meant to be used externally.
Parameters
- quadratic_program (
Any) – The parent QuadraticProgram. - name (
str) – The variable name. - lowerbound (
Union[float,int]) – The variable lowerbound. - upperbound (
Union[float,int]) – The variable upperbound. - vartype (
VarType) – The variable type.
Raises
QiskitOptimizationError – if lowerbound is greater than upperbound.
