Abstract
An optimization method includes holding combining destination information indicating a combining destination neuron to be combined with a target neuron which is one of a plurality of neurons corresponding to a plurality of spins of an Ising model obtained by converting an optimization problem, the target neuron being different in a plurality of neuron circuits; holding a weighting coefficient indicating a strength of combining between the target neuron and the combining destination neuron, and outputting the weighting coefficient corresponding to the combining destination information; permitting an update of a value of the target neuron by using the weighting coefficient output and the value of the update target neuron, and outputting a determination result indicating whether or not the value of the target neuron is permitted to be updated; and determining the update target neuron based on the plurality of determination results respectively output and outputting the update target information.
