Autoresearch in Mixed-Integer Linear and Nonlinear Programming
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.39360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite recent progress in autoresearch, applying it to practical operations research problems, typically formulated as NP-hard mixed-integer linear or nonlinear programs (MILPs or MINLPs), remains challenging because effective research requires systematically managing competing ideas and long-horizon experimental trajectories. We introduce AutoMIP, a reusable agent skill for organizing long-horizon autoresearch in mixed-integer programming through idea pooling and algorithm tree search. AutoMIP maintains a persistent pool of complementary candid

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
