AI agents discover convex relaxations for optimization constants

Researchers have developed a novel autoresearch paradigm using AI agents to discover convex relaxations, which are crucial for establishing lower bounds in optimization problems. This method involves a coding agent proposing constraints and a theory agent verifying them while searching for counterexamples. The system successfully improved certified lower bounds for two specific optimization constants, the first autocorrelation inequality and the Erdős minimum-overlap constant, by leveraging rigorous interval arithmetic for verification.
