ABSTRACT:
A solution apparatus for solving an assignment problem interconnects the neurons, which correspond to the elements respectively, as the same number as the elements. The weight of connection between the neurons is set and the neurons are activated. The weight of connection is determined according to the connection status between the elements and the constraint of the assigned elements's number for the cell. When the output of the neurons converges, the convergence result is stored and the weight of connection is changed according to the convergence result. The convergence result corresponds to the answer for assigning the elements to two cells groups. The neurons are activated repeatedly whenever the weight of connection is changed. Therefore, the accumulated convergence result corresponds to the answer for assigning the elements to the cells respectively.
