dimod.generators.random.ran_r

ran_r(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Generate an Ising model for a RANr problem.

In RANr problems all linear biases are zero and quadratic values are uniformly selected integers between -r to r, excluding zero. This class of problems is relevant for binary quadratic models (BQM) with spin variables (Ising models).

This generator of RANr problems follows the definition in [Kin2015].

Parameters:
  • r (int) – Order of the RANr problem.
  • graph (int/tuple[nodes, edges]/list[edge]/Graph) – The graph to build the bqm on. Either an integer n, interpreted as a complete graph of size n, a nodes/edges pair, a list of edges or a NetworkX graph.
  • cls (BinaryQuadraticModel) – Binary quadratic model class to build from.
  • seed (int, optional, default=None) – Random seed.
Returns:

BinaryQuadraticModel.

Examples:

>>> import networkx as nx
>>> K_7 = nx.complete_graph(7)
>>> bqm = dimod.generators.random.ran_r(1, K_7)
