Geometry-Aware MCTS for Extremal Problems in Combinatorial Geometry

We study certain extremal problems in combinatorial geometry that ask about configurations of points in an $n \times n$ grid that satisfy strict, global geometric constraints. Classical exact solvers suffer from combinatorial explosion for these types of problems, and standard reinforcement learning and transformer-based models struggle with the sparse reward "validity cliff" and quadratic token-consumption limits.

JigShape: Evaluating Visual-Geometric Reasoning in VLMs through Jigsaw Puzzles

arXiv:2607. 27670v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Jigsaw puzzle solving requires jointly reasoning about visual content and geometric constraints, yet existing benchmarks use rectangular cuts that create ambiguous ground truth in texture-repeated regions.

Finding Kissing Numbers with Game-theoretic Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2511. 13391v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Since Isaac Newton first studied the Kissing Number Problem in 1694, determining the maximal number of non-overlapping spheres around a central sphere has remained a defining challenge in discrete geometry.
