New agent PACE aids adaptive conjecture exploration in applied mathematics

Researchers have developed PACE, a novel agent designed for adaptive conjecture exploration in applied mathematics. PACE operates through a structured research loop, enabling it to select mathematical objectives and develop or challenge candidate mechanisms. The agent constructs proofs from these mechanisms, which are then independently verified. PACE incorporates an evidence-tracking memory to manage assumptions and dependencies, ensuring revalidation when conditions change. To evaluate its capabilities, a new benchmark called ResearchProofBench was introduced, featuring 51 known-proof tasks and six open-problem cases in optimization. PACE demonstrated proficiency by achieving a 75.16 Proof Score on known-proof tasks and developing conditional results in conjecture research that outperformed baseline methods. AI

    PACE: Research Proving Agent for Adaptive Conjecture Exploration

    arXiv:2610.33690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many mathematical research agents focus on solving problems with fixed statements. However, conjecture research, especially in applied mathematics, may require revising candidate questions or conclusions as investigation proceeds, c…
