penaltymodel 1.3.0

Package for creating penalty models.

warning:

penaltymodel is deprecated. For solving problems with constraints, we recommend using the hybrid solvers in the Leap :tm: service. You can find documentation for the hybrid solvers at https://docs.dwavequantum.com.

penaltymodel

One approach to solve a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) using an Ising model or a QUBO, is to map each individual constraint in the CSP to a ‘small’ Ising model or QUBO. This mapping is called a penalty model.

For more information, see penalty models.
