LaF-MCTS uses LLM-assisted flexible MCTS with a three-tier hierarchy, semantic pruning, and branch regrowth to automatically compose decomposition-enhanced CVRP solvers that outperform state-of-the-art methods on CVRPLib benchmarks.
CP-SynC uses coordinated LLM agents to generate, validate via synthesized checkers, and select MiniZinc models from natural language, substantially outperforming baselines on a 100-problem benchmark.
OPT-Engine shows pure-text chain-of-thought reasoning in LLMs loses robustness as optimization complexity grows, external tools fix only local arithmetic, and solver-integrated methods are bottlenecked by automated constraint formulation.
HMACE deploys Proposer, Generator, Evaluator, and Reflector agents in an evolutionary loop to generate and refine heuristics for NP-hard problems, reporting lower optimality gaps and token costs than baselines on TSP and Online BPP.
