About this paper

Ivan Ilin, Peter Richtárik

The authors introduce a multi-agent optimization protocol in which agents search task blocks using corrections for cross-block effects, while a coordinator verifies proposals before merging them. Under stated assumptions, it converges linearly up to an error floor that exact corrections remove. In routing experiments, checked merging cut mean search time 30% versus one-color merging; LLM assumptions remain unverified.
