# Optimizer
<Class id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.23/qiskit/algorithms/optimizers/optimizer.py" signature="Optimizer" modifiers="class">
Bases: `abc.ABC`
Base class for optimization algorithm.
Initialize the optimization algorithm, setting the support level for \_gradient\_support\_level, \_bound\_support\_level, \_initial\_point\_support\_level, and empty options.
## Methods
### get\_support\_level
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.get_support_level" signature="Optimizer.get_support_level()" modifiers="abstract">
Return support level dictionary
</Function>
### gradient\_num\_diff
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.gradient_num_diff" signature="Optimizer.gradient_num_diff(x_center, f, epsilon, max_evals_grouped=None)" modifiers="static">
We compute the gradient with the numeric differentiation in the parallel way, around the point x\_center.
**Parameters**
* **x\_center** (*ndarray*) point around which we compute the gradient
* **f** (*func*) the function of which the gradient is to be computed.
* **epsilon** (*float*) the epsilon used in the numeric differentiation.
* **max\_evals\_grouped** (*int*) max evals grouped, defaults to 1 (i.e. no batching).
**Returns**
the gradient computed
**Return type**
grad
</Function>
### minimize
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.minimize" signature="Optimizer.minimize(fun, x0, jac=None, bounds=None)" modifiers="abstract">
Minimize the scalar function.
**Parameters**
* **fun** (`Callable`\[\[`Union`\[`float`, `ndarray`]], `float`]) The scalar function to minimize.
* **x0** (`Union`\[`float`, `ndarray`]) The initial point for the minimization.
* **jac** (`Optional`\[`Callable`\[\[`Union`\[`float`, `ndarray`]], `Union`\[`float`, `ndarray`]]]) The gradient of the scalar function `fun`.
* **bounds** (`Optional`\[`List`\[`Tuple`\[`float`, `float`]]]) Bounds for the variables of `fun`. This argument might be ignored if the optimizer does not support bounds.
**Return type**
[`OptimizerResult`](qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.OptimizerResult "qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.optimizer.OptimizerResult")
**Returns**
The result of the optimization, containing e.g. the result as attribute `x`.
</Function>
### print\_options
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.print_options" signature="Optimizer.print_options()">
Print algorithm-specific options.
</Function>
### set\_max\_evals\_grouped
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.set_max_evals_grouped" signature="Optimizer.set_max_evals_grouped(limit)">
Set max evals grouped
</Function>
### set\_options
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.set_options" signature="Optimizer.set_options(**kwargs)">
Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
The options dictionary may be used internally by a given optimizer to pass additional optional values for the underlying optimizer/optimization function used. The options dictionary may be initially populated with a set of key/values when the given optimizer is constructed.
**Parameters**
**kwargs** (*dict*) options, given as name=value.
</Function>
### wrap\_function
<Function id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.wrap_function" signature="Optimizer.wrap_function(function, args)" modifiers="static">
Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.
**Parameters**
* **function** (*func*) the target function
* **args** (*tuple*) the args to be injected
**Returns**
wrapper
**Return type**
function\_wrapper
</Function>

<Attribute id="qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.Optimizer.settings">
The optimizer settings in a dictionary format.

```python
settings = optimizer.settings
# JSON serialize and send to another server
optimizer = OptimizerClass(**settings)
```
