Graph-Grounded Optimization: Rao-Family Metaheuristics, Classical OR, and SLM-Driven Formulation over Knowledge Graphs
We propose graph-grounded optimization: a paradigm in which the decision variables, constraints, and objective coefficients of a real-world optimization problem are sourced from a property knowledge graph (KG) via Cypher queries, rather than supplied as free-form natural-language text or static tabular input. We motivate the paradigm by surveying recent LLM/SLM-driven optimization systems -- OptiMUS, Chain-of-Experts, LLMOPT, OPRO, FunSearch, Eureka -- none of which consume property graphs as the primary input modality. We instantiate the paradigm in the open-source samyama-graph database and evaluate seven real-world public-domain KG-backed problems spanning drug repurposing (245K-node biomedical KG), clinical-trial site selection (7.78M-node trial registry), Indian supply-chain rerouting (5.34M-node OSM road graph), healthcare equity allocation (WHO/GAVI/IHME KG), economic-environmental grid dispatch, antimicrobial-resistance stewardship (NCBI AMRFinderPlus, 10.4K resistance genes), and wildfire evacuation routing (OSM Paradise, CA). We compare a portfolio of Rao-family metaheuristics (BMWR, Jaya, SAMP-Jaya, EHR-Jaya, Rao-1) against Google OR-tools (CP-SAT and GLOP) reference solvers. We find that (i) no single Rao variant dominates: BMWR wins on discrete-with-tradeoff and high-dim-with-hard-constraint problems while Rao-1 wins on continuous low-/mid-dim problems, empirically supporting a portfolio approach; (ii) OR-tools dominates on small linear/MILP-friendly sub-problems but cannot encode the non-linear objectives that emerge in several of the real-world settings; (iii) graph-grounded formulations surface data-quality issues (missing properties, degenerate aggregates) that purely text-formulated optimizations would silently mask

Modeling Local Search Metaheuristics Using Markov Decision Processes
Local search metaheuristics like tabu search or simulated annealing are popular heuristic optimization algorithms for finding near-optimal solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. However, it is still challengi…
Combinatorial OptimizationEstimation of the yield curve for Costa Rica using combinatorial optimization metaheuristics applied to nonlinear regression
The term structure of interest rates or yield curve is a function relating the interest rate with its own term. Nonlinear regression models of Nelson-Siegel and Svensson were used to estimate the yield curve using a samp…
Combinatorial OptimizationregressionMetaheuristics for (Variable-Size) Mixed Optimization Problems: A Unified Taxonomy and Survey
Many real world optimization problems are formulated as mixed-variable optimization problems (MVOPs) which involve both continuous and discrete variables. MVOPs including dimensional variables are characterized by a vari…
