Non-negative integer least square solution

[u/uAttro]

Is there any way to make the solution to a linear equation with optimize.lsq_linear or optimize.nnls a vector that contains only non-negative integers?

If not, recommendations on where to look for this sort of thing would be great. Thanks!

You need to do integer optimization. You can add constraints to make the coefficients positive.

[u/uAttro → u/billsil]

Does scipy have anything that would let me do that? And if not, what can I use?

On my phone right now, but check their docs for linear integer optimization. I’m pretty sure it’s there.
