Abstrakt: The potential of Boltzmann machines to cope with difficult combinatorial optimization problems is investigated. A discussion of various (parallel) models of Boltzmann machines is given based on the theory of Markov chains. A general strategy is presented for solving (approximately) combinatorial optimization problems with a Boltzmann machine. The strategy is illustrated by discussing the details for two different problems, namely MATCHING and GRAPH PARTITIONING.
