contents Efficiently optimizing Nondeterministic Polynomial time (NP) problems in polynomial time has profound implications in many domains. CMOS oscillator networks have been shown to be effective and efficient in approximating certain NP-hard problems such as minimization of Potts Hamiltonian, and computational complexity theory guarantees that any NP problem can be reduced to it. In this paper, we formulate a variety of NP problems using first-order and multi-phase Potts Hamiltonian. We also propose a 3-state asymmetrically weighted oscillator optimizer design to optimize the problems. Building on existing knowledge in CMOS design, our proposed algorithms offer a promising pathway for large-scale optimization of NP problems.
