MinimizeToMaximize

class MinimizeToMaximize

Bases: _FlipProblemSense

Convert a minimization problem to a maximization problem only if it is a minimization problem, otherwise problem’s sense is unchanged.

Methods

convert(problem)

Flip the sense of a problem.

Parameters:

problem (QuadraticProgram) – The problem to be flipped.

Returns:

A converted problem, that has the flipped sense.

Return type:

QuadraticProgram

interpret(x)

Convert the result of the converted problem back to that of the original problem.

Parameters:

x (ndarray | List[float]) – The result of the converted problem or the given result in case of FAILURE.

Returns:

The result of the original problem.

Raises:

QiskitOptimizationError – if the number of variables in the result differs from that of the original problem.

Return type:

ndarray
