Abstract
An optimization apparatus includes a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to: compute a local solution for a combinatorial optimization problem based on a first evaluation function representing the combinatorial optimization problem, select a state variable group targeted by partial problems from the plurality of state variables based on a first state variable whose value at the local solution is a predetermined value among the plurality of state variables included in the first evaluation function, a weight coefficient representing a magnitude of an interaction between the plurality of state variables held in a storage unit, and input selection region information, search a ground state for a second evaluation function representing the partial problems for the selected state variable group, and generate a whole solution by updating the local solution based on the partial solutions acquired by the ground state search.
