In the paper we deal with the NP-complete problem of minimization a quadratic form of
N
binary variables. The minimization approach based on extensive random search is considered. To increase the efficiency of the random-search algorithm, we vary the attraction area of the deepest minima of the functional by changing the matrix
T
it is based on. The new matrix
M
, called
mix-matrix
, is a mixture of
T
and
T
2
. We demonstrate that such a substitution brings about changes of the energy surface: deep minima displace very slightly in the space (the Hemming distance of the shift is of about 0.01*
N
), they become still deeper and their attraction areas grow significantly. At the same time the probability of finding close to optimal solutions increases abruptly (by 2-3 orders of magnitude in case of a 2D Ising model of size 12
×
12 and in case of dense instances of size 500).
