Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have studied the statistical-mechanics model of the prime factorization problem via a formulation of the ground-state searching problem. By the analysis of the density of states of two macroscopic quantities, i.e., the energy and the Hamming distance from the correct solutions, leads to two features that are each related to two marked changes in the energy region sampled via Monte Carlo simulation or simulated annealing. One is the peculiar first order phase transition that has the intermediate property between the conventional first-order transition and the second-order one and the other is the convex kink in the density of states.
