ran_r(r: int, graph: int | tuple[Collection[Hashable], Collection[tuple[Hashable, Hashable]]] | Collection[tuple[Hashable, Hashable]] | Graph, cls: None = None, seed: int | None = None) → BinaryQuadraticModel[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 – Order of the RANr problem.

  • graph – 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 – Deprecated. Does nothing.

  • seed – Random seed.

Returns:

A binary quadratic model.

Examples:

>>> import networkx as nx
>>> K_7 = nx.complete_graph(7)
>>> bqm = dimod.generators.random.ran_r(1, K_7)
>>> max(bqm.quadratic.values()) == -min(bqm.quadratic.values())
True

Deprecated since version 0.10.13: The cls keyword argument will be removed in 0.12.0. It currently does nothing.
