Include dummy bound on interaction length in induction #6

Open ecpeterson opened 1 year ago

ecpeterson commented 1 year ago

In a few locations in interference.py, eg

https://github.com/Qiskit-Extensions/monodromy/blob/main/monodromy/static/interference.py#L51

we include a dummy bound of 999 on the total interaction strength. I wonder if we can instead treat the interaction count as another (integer-valued) polytope coordinate and thereby roll it into the induction with all the rest. This would bump up the dimension by 1 and make an already slow proof-checker slower, but it would be cleaner.
