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 5):
The optimization apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the transition control unit includes: a thermal excitation energy generating unit that outputs thresholds of the thermal excitation energy that are expressed by a Metropolis method or a Gibbs method and are respectively expressed by a plurality of products produced by multiplying the temperature and a plurality of values of an inverse function for a function that indicates a permission probability of each of the plurality of state transitions in keeping with the random number; a comparator that outputs a plurality of first judgment results indicating whether to accept each of the plurality of state transitions, the first judgment results being expressed by a plurality of values that correspond to comparison results of comparisons between a plurality of sums produced by adding the offset to the energy change calculated for each of the plurality of state transitions, and the plurality of products; a selector that outputs transition information indicating one state transition out of the plurality of state transitions and outputs, based on the plurality of first judgment results, a value indicating whether the one state transition is to be accepted; and a transition prohibiting circuit that outputs, when the transition information matches the first transition information, a value indicating that the first state transition that is the one state transition is not to be accepted.
