QuadraticObjective
class QuadraticObjective(quadratic_program, constant=0.0, linear=None, quadratic=None, sense=<ObjSense.MINIMIZE: 1>)
Bases: qiskit.optimization.problems.quadratic_program_element.QuadraticProgramElement
Representation of quadratic objective function of the form: constant + linear * x + x * quadratic * x.
Constructs a quadratic objective function.
Parameters
- quadratic_program (
Any) – The parent quadratic program. - constant (
float) – The constant offset of the objective. - linear (
Union[ndarray,spmatrix,List[float],Dict[Union[int,str],float],None]) – The coefficients of the linear part of the objective. - quadratic (
Union[ndarray,spmatrix,List[List[float]],Dict[Tuple[Union[int,str],Union[int,str]],float],None]) – The coefficients of the quadratic part of the objective. - sense (
ObjSense) – The optimization sense of the objective.
