Abstract

We propose a new formulation of the problem of prime factorization of integers. With replica exchange Monte Carlo simulation, the behavior which is seemed to indicate exponential computational hardness is observed. But this formulation is expected to give a new insight into the computational complexity of this problem from a statistical mechanical point of view.
