Abstract
A cellular automaton part is provided with cellular automata each including a plurality of cells. Each cell is provided with a growth period state deriving circuit for growing a cell column and a stable period state deriving circuit for stabilizing the cell column. An input/output part carries out input/output in/from the cellular automata in relation to a target problem, and outputs the same also to an evaluation part. The evaluation part operates the degrees of application of the cellular automata with respect to the target problem, so that an evaluation reflecting part decides next initial states of the cellular automata and operations of the growth period and stable period state deriving circuits on the basis of evaluation values of the evaluation part.
