Abstract

Calculator based resolution method and device for an optimization problem of the physical real world, the problem being modeled with constrained discrete variables, the variables having a referenced set of possible states. The method comprising, a survey propagation step and a survey induced decimation step to provide a simplified problem, until all variables are either assigned or are unpolarized.
