  • Patent number: 11656587
    Abstract: A control apparatus according to an embodiment includes one or more hardware processors. The processors acquire, for each of elements, pieces of input data representing first physical field of a corresponding one of the elements at a first time point. The elements are obtained by discretization of an object to be controlled. The processors calculate, for each element, second physical field of a corresponding element at a second time point after the first time point. The second physical field is calculated based on a value of an energy functional representing energy of the corresponding element. The value of the energy functional is obtained by inputting the pieces of input data into an estimation model. The processors control the object such that control quantity based on the second physical field becomes a target value.
