arXiv:2606. 00366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider the problem of generating a large collection of initial guesses for local minima of multimodal non-convex continuous optimization problems.

arXiv:2606. 25012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many reinforcement learning (RL) problems in the infinite-horizon average-reward setting require optimizing multiple conflicting objectives while satisfying multiple safety constraints.

arXiv:2606. 23299v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Configuring the hyperparameters of Mixed-integer programming (MIP) solvers is a high-dimensional, instance-dependent optimization problem where suboptimal settings can degrade solving time by orders of magnitude.

arXiv:2606. 11015v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tuning controllers for strongly coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) industrial processes is hard: decentralized classical auto-tuning ignores loop interaction, and local numerical optimization from natural initializations stalls in the resulting non-convex cost landscape.

arXiv:2606. 06877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task planning often suffers from severe efficiency bottlenecks when robots must reason over long-horizon action sequences under complex logical constraints, including object affordances, spatial relationships, and sequential action dependencies.

arXiv:2607. 08954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study nonasymptotic convergence of primal-dual methods for a class of nonconvex constrained optimization problems with a convex-composite structure.

arXiv:2607. 07206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adaptive optimizers mix several mechanisms: a metric or preconditioner maps gradients to descent directions, while estimation, memory, step-size control, constraints, stochasticity, target modification, and discretization determine which directions are available and how they are used.

arXiv:2607. 20769v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning-enabled decision systems often use offline data or computation to reduce online compute cost.

arXiv:2606. 09037v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This study presents a large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent framework for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) design optimization that mitigates limitations of conventional workflows: expertise-dependent problem setup and data preparation, the prohibitive computational cost of finite element analysis (FEA), and the unreliability of AI surrogates in unexplored regions.

arXiv:2605. 13548v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing robotic foundation models, while powerful, are predicated on an implicit assumption of temporal homogeneity: treating all actions as equally informative during optimization.

arXiv:2606. 16515v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman theory implies that the optimal goal-conditioned action depends on the goal only through the gradient of the goal-reaching distance at the current state, yet standard online GCRL still conditions the actor on the raw goal -- a signal that is geometrically uninformative when the goal is far from the data distribution.
