Abstract:
When stochastically deciding, based on a change in energy and a random number relating to thermal excitation, whether to accept any of a plurality of state transitions according to the relative relationship between the change in energy and thermal excitation energy, a transition control unit adds an offset to the change in energy, performs control so that the offset at a local minimum where energy is locally minimized is larger than an offset when the energy is not minimized, holds transition information (a transition number) indicating a previous state transition, and prohibits, based on a decoding result for the held transition information, a first state transition out of the present state transition candidates.

Claim (Index 1):
An optimization apparatus comprising:\n a state holding unit that holds values of a plurality of state variables included in an evaluation function that represents energy; an energy calculating unit that calculates an energy change of the energy for each of a plurality of state transitions that occurs when a value of at least one out of the plurality of state variables changes; a temperature control unit that controls a temperature; and a transition control unit that adds an offset to each energy change when stochastically deciding, based on the temperature, the energy change, and a random number relating to thermal excitation, whether to accept any of the plurality of state transitions according to a relative relationship between the energy change and thermal excitation energy, performs control so that the offset at a local minimum where the energy is locally minimized is larger than an offset when the energy is not minimized, holds first transition information indicating a previous state transition, and prohibits a first state transition out of present state transition candidates based on a first decoding result of the held first transition information.
