SOLUTION METHOD AND SOLUTION APPARATUS FOR UNDERDETERMINED SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS

摘要

A variable to be determined is expressed as a product of a state variable and a structural variable for each element. The structural variable is a monotonically increasing function of a control variable that takes a real number value, and is thus limited to a real number of 0 to 1. An objective function defined as a function of the state variable and structural variable or the state variable and control variable is used. In each iteration, a computer executes: a state variable updating step of updating a value of each element of the state variable on the basis of information of the objective function with respect to the state variable; and a structural variable updating step of updating a value of each element of the structural variable on the basis of information of the objective function with respect to said structural variable.
