CG
class CG(maxiter=20, disp=False, gtol=1e-05, tol=None, eps=1.4901161193847656e-08, options=None, max_evals_grouped=1, **kwargs)
Bases: qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.scipy_optimizer.SciPyOptimizer
Conjugate Gradient optimizer.
CG is an algorithm for the numerical solution of systems of linear equations whose matrices are symmetric and positive-definite. It is an iterative algorithm in that it uses an initial guess to generate a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a problem, in which each approximation is derived from the previous ones. It is often used to solve unconstrained optimization problems, such as energy minimization.
Uses scipy.optimize.minimize CG. For further detail, please refer to https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.minimize.html
Parameters
- maxiter (
int) – Maximum number of iterations to perform. - disp (
bool) – Set to True to print convergence messages. - gtol (
float) – Gradient norm must be less than gtol before successful termination. - tol (
Optional[float]) – Tolerance for termination. - eps (
float) – If jac is approximated, use this value for the step size. - options (
Optional[dict]) – A dictionary of solver options. - max_evals_grouped (
int) – Max number of default gradient evaluations performed simultaneously. - kwargs – additional kwargs for scipy.optimize.minimize.
Methods
get_support_level
CG.get_support_level()
Return support level dictionary
gradient_num_diff
static CG.gradient_num_diff(x_center, f, epsilon, max_evals_grouped=None)
We compute the gradient with the numeric differentiation in the parallel way, around the point x_center.
Parameters
- x_center (ndarray) – point around which we compute the gradient
- f (func) – the function of which the gradient is to be computed.
- epsilon (float) – the epsilon used in the numeric differentiation.
- max_evals_grouped (int) – max evals grouped, defaults to 1 (i.e. no batching).
Returns
the gradient computed
Return type
grad
minimize
CG.minimize(fun, x0, jac=None, bounds=None)
Minimize the scalar function.
Parameters
- fun (
Callable[[Union[float,ndarray]],float]) – The scalar function to minimize. - x0 (
Union[float,ndarray]) – The initial point for the minimization. - jac (
Optional[Callable[[Union[float,ndarray]],Union[float,ndarray]]]) – The gradient of the scalar functionfun. - bounds (
Optional[List[Tuple[float,float]]]) – Bounds for the variables offun. This argument might be ignored if the optimizer does not support bounds.
Return type
Returns
The result of the optimization, containing e.g. the result as attribute x.
print_options
CG.print_options()
Print algorithm-specific options.
set_max_evals_grouped
CG.set_max_evals_grouped(limit)
Set max evals grouped
set_options
CG.set_options(**kwargs)
Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
The options dictionary may be used internally by a given optimizer to pass additional optional values for the underlying optimizer/optimization function used. The options dictionary may be initially populated with a set of key/values when the given optimizer is constructed.
Parameters
kwargs (dict) – options, given as name=value.
wrap_function
static CG.wrap_function(function, args)
Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.
Parameters
- function (func) – the target function
- args (tuple) – the args to be injected
Returns
wrapper
Return type
