Title: Auto-Formulating Dynamic Programming Problems with Large Language Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2507.11737v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Dynamic programming (DP) is a fundamental method in operations research, but formulating DP models has traditionally required expert knowledge of both the problem context and DP techniques. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer the potential to automate this process. However, DP problems pose unique challenges due to their inherently stochastic transitions and the limited availability of training data. These factors make it difficult to directly a
