Quick Start
-----------

**Define a problem:**

.. code:: python

  # simple.py

  import pybnb
  class Simple(pybnb.Problem):
      def __init__(self):
          self.bounds = [0.0,1.0]
      def sense(self):
          return pybnb.minimize
      def objective(self):
          return round(self.bounds[1] - self.bounds[0], 3)
      def bound(self):
          return -(self.bounds[1] - self.bounds[0])**2
      def save_state(self, node):
          node.state = self.bounds
      def load_state(self, node):
          self.bounds = node.state
      def branch(self):
          L, U = self.bounds
          mid = 0.5 * (L + U)
          for l,u in [(L,mid), (mid,U)]:
              child = pybnb.Node()
              child.state = (l,u)
              yield child

**Write a solve script:**

.. code:: python

  # solve_simple.py

  import simple
  problem = simple.Simple()
  results = pybnb.solve(problem,
                        absolute_gap=1e-9)

**Run the script:**

.. code:: bash

  $ mpirun -np 4 python solve_simple.py

  Using non-default solver options:
   - absolute_gap: 1e-09 (default: 0)

  Starting branch & bound solve:
   - dispatcher pid: 34902 (Ozymandias.local)
   - worker processes: 3
