arXiv:2606. 26399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.
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.
The paper presents a table‑free index for tapered memoization grids, enabling compact out‑of‑core evaluation of functions that depend on sorted arguments. By showing that the grid’s key set corresponds to multiset combinations, the authors derive a closed‑form O(d) ranking and unranking scheme that removes the need for large preprocessing tables and allows order‑free parallel construction. The resulting values‑only flat array uses significantly less memory than hash‑map memoization, offers faster query times once cache limits are exceeded, and remains operable with memory‑mapped storage beyond RAM.
