CoupleEvo: Evolving Heuristics for Coupled Optimization Problems Using Large Language Models

arXiv:2605.06341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many real-world optimization problems consist of multiple tightly coupled subproblems whose solutions must be coordinated to achieve high overall performance. However, existing large language model driven automated heuristic design approaches are limited to single-problem settings. In this paper, we propose CoupleEvo. CoupleEvo proposes three evolutionary coordination strategies to evolve heuristics for coupled optimization problems: the sequenti
