|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **maxiter** ([*int*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.12)") *|*[*list*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.12)")*\[*[*int*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.12)")*]*) – Maximum number of iterations (full gradient steps)

|
||

Must be within the bounds: \[0,1)
|
||
* **param\_tol** ([*float*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.12)")) – Tolerance for change in norm of parameters.
|
||
* **averaging** ([*int*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.12)")) – Length of window over which to average objective values for objective convergence criterion
|
||
|
||
**Raises**
|
||
|
||
[**AlgorithmError**](algorithms#qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmError "qiskit.algorithms.AlgorithmError") – If the length of `maxiter`, momentum\`, and `eta` is not the same.
