This research introduces a novel Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) framework that significantly improves how large language models generate optimization heuristics without human intervention.

• Combines MCTS with LLMs to systematically explore the solution space for optimization problems
• Achieves superior performance compared to existing methods across multiple domains
• Reduces computation costs while maintaining high-quality heuristic generation
• Demonstrates practical applications in route planning and task allocation challenges

For engineering teams, this approach offers a powerful way to develop optimization algorithms without requiring extensive domain expertise, potentially revolutionizing how complex engineering problems are solved computationally.
