+gradient_guided_search
+
+
+
+Optimized the search by focusing on a gradient-guided approach to flatten the self-convolution of the sequence.
+1. Re-introduced a refined gradient calculation that targets the peaks of the convolution, which are the main bottlenecks for the evaluator.
+2. Improved initialization with a more diverse set of starting shapes (power-law, U-shape, sine waves).
+3. Used a more aggressive gradient descent loop with momentum to efficiently minimize the objective.
+4. Simplified the normalization step for numerical stability.
+5. The gradient move $a_i \leftarrow a_i - \eta (S a_{k-i} - P)$ directly reduces the maximum of the convolution while maintaining the sum of the sequence.
+6. Multi-start exploration combined with focused local search ensures better coverage of the search space.

+targeted_refinement_multi_res
+
+
+
+This update introduces three major improvements to the search algorithm:
+1. **Targeted Peak-Reduction Mutation**: Instead of random perturbations, the search now identifies the specific indices that contribute most to the maximum convolution value and reduces their values directly.
+2. **Structured Multi-Resolution Progression**: The search now systematically progresses through resolutions (256, 512, 768), allocating more time to the highest resolution for final refinement.
+3. **Enhanced Seed Diversity**: Added a Beta-distribution shaped seed to the initialization pool, which helps find smoother "bump" shapes that often perform better in autocorrelation tasks.
+4. **Internal Performance Optimization**: Replaced the overhead-heavy `evaluate_sequence(seq.tolist())` with a fast internal numpy-based evaluator (`_fast_eval`) to increase the number of search iterations.

+surgical_peak_migration_and_skewed_refinement
+
+
+
+This update aims to push the performance towards the 1.60 benchmark by refining the search strategy and surgical mutation precision:
+1. **Skewed Resolution Scaling**: Adjusts the time shares to allocate 60% of the total budget to the final $n=768$ resolution, ensuring thorough high-frequency refinement.
+2. **Moderate Softmax Gradient**: Resets the $\beta$ range from 400 back to a more stable 200. This prevents the search from becoming too greedy and stuck in sharp local minima, allowing for better exploration of the sequence's global envelope.
+3. **Atomic Peak-to-Gap Migration**: Replaces the previous coupled move with a more principled version that uses the relative gradient ($\frac{\partial \log(Obj)}{\partial a_i}$) to identify the most inefficient indices (highest convolution contribution relative to mass) and transfers mass directly to the most efficient ones.
+4. **Deterministic Symmetry Hardening**: Implements a stricter symmetry constraint in the final 10% of the time budget to focus the search dimensionality in the expensive high-resolution stage.
+5. **Refined Mutation Mix**: Redistributes move probabilities to favor targeted peak pressure and gradient-based adjustments over simple random perturbations.

+surgical_log_gradient_and_symmetry_hardening
+
+
+
+Optimizes the sequence search by implementing several key improvements:
+1. **Symmetric Power-Law Seeding**: Refines the initial search space by focusing power-law exponents closer to the theoretical 0.5 optimum.
+2. **Sum-Preserving Log-Gradient Move**: Replaces the moderate gradient step with an atomic log-gradient update. This uses a high-beta softmax to isolate peaks and applies a sum-preserving update rule ($\delta_i = grad_i / \bar{grad} - 1$) which is numerically stable and more aggressive in flattening the convolution.
+3. **Atomic Peak-to-Gap Mass Migration**: Replaces the previous migration move with a high-precision version that identifies indices contributing most to convolution maxima and shifts their mass directly to indices contributing to minima.
+4. **Deterministic Symmetry Hardening**: Enforces symmetry much more aggressively during the final $n=768$ resolution phase to exploit the theoretical symmetry of the optimal sequence.
+5. **Envelope-Preserving Spectral Damping**: Refines spectral mutations to suppress high-frequency jitter while preserving the global shape of the sequence's envelope.

+MirrorDescent_UltraBeta_Update
+
+
+
+Optimizes the search by implementing a more principled Entropic Mirror Descent update and an ultra-sharp softmax for surgical targeting of convolution peaks.
+
+1. **Refined Seeding**: Expands the power-law search space in `_seed_sequence` to include more diverse exponents and sharper windowing, which better targets the known near-optimal structures.
+2. **Ultra-Sharp Softmax ($\beta$ up to 1000)**: Increases the softmax parameter $\beta$ to 1000 in the final search stages. This allows the algorithm to identify the exact indices responsible for the $L_\infty$ norm of the convolution, enabling "nanosurgery" to reduce peaks without distorting the global power-law envelope.
+3. **Formal Mirror Descent Step**: Replaces the heuristic additive/multiplicative updates with a Mirror Descent step based on the gradient of the log-objective. This update naturally respects the non-negativity constraint and provides more stable convergence towards the 1.57 theoretical limit.
+4. **Optimized Time Shares and Mass Migration**: Shifts more search budget to the final resolution and refines the "Peak-to-Valley" mass migration to use a larger neighborhood, preventing the optimizer from getting stuck in local high-frequency ripples.

+
+
+Optimizes the sequence search by implementing three core improvements:
+1. **Formal Entropic Mirror Descent Move**: Replaces heuristic gradient moves with a formal Mirror Descent step $\vec{a} \leftarrow \vec{a} \exp(-\eta \nabla \Phi)$, which respects the non-negativity constraint and effectively flattens the convolution peaks.
+2. **Ultra-Sharp Softmax Gradient**: Increases the softmax $\beta$ parameter to 600 during the final resolution phase to enable "nanosurgery" on the specific indices responsible for $L_\infty$ bottlenecks.
+3. **Refined Resolution and Symmetry Schedule**: Shifts more time budget to the final $n=768$ resolution and enforces 100% deterministic symmetry in the final 25% of the search to simplify the optimization manifold when refining high-frequency details.
+4. **Updated Seed Heuristic**: Replaces the smooth root-sine seed with a theoretical symmetric power-law candidate $(i^{-0.5} + (n-i)^{-0.5})$ to improve the starting global envelope.

+unified_surgical_optimization
+
+
+This edit implements a Unified Surgical Gradient Step that combines peak reduction and valley boosting into a single mirror-descent-like move on the positive simplex. It uses a high-beta softmax to isolate convolution peaks and applies a mass-preserving transformation to flatten the convolution envelope. Additionally, the multi-resolution strategy is refined with a more aggressive sigma decay and enhanced spectral smoothing to preserve the global structure while performing high-precision 'nanosurgery' at the final resolution of 768.

+surgical_mass_migration_and_mirror_descent
+
+
+
+This update introduces three key improvements to the sequence search:
+1. **Mirror Descent Gradient Step**: Replaces the standard scaling reduction with a multiplicative Mirror Descent update based on the log-gradient of the objective. This naturally preserves the mass distribution while exponentially suppressing elements that contribute most to convolution peaks.
+2. **Unified Mass Migration**: Implements a surgical "Peak-to-Valley" migration move that identifies indices contributing to the $L_\infty$ norm of the convolution and redistributes their mass to the most efficient (lowest-contribution) indices. This preserves the sequence sum $\sum a_i$ exactly.
+3. **Enhanced Precision "Nanosurgery"**: Increases the softmax temperature ($\beta$) up to 1000 in the final search stages to isolate the exact sequence elements responsible for convolution spikes, and enforces deterministic symmetry more aggressively to reduce the search dimensionality as $n$ scales to 768.

+Precision_Nanosurgery_and_Symmetry_Control
+
+
+
+This edit refines the sequence optimization process by implementing several mathematically grounded improvements:
+1. **Ultra-Sharp Softmax Gradient**: Increases the softmax sharpness ($\beta$) from 550 to 1000 during the final resolution stage. This enables "nanosurgical" updates that isolate the specific sequence elements responsible for the current convolution peaks.
+2. **Symmetry-Subspace Focusing**: Transitions to deterministic symmetry enforcement significantly earlier (at 50% progress). Since theoretical optima are symmetric, this effectively halves the search dimensionality when the problem is most computationally expensive ($n=768$).
+3. **Relative Sensitivity Update**: Replaces heuristic gradient moves with a formal sensitivity-based update: $d(\ln J)/d(\ln a_i) \propto a_i \cdot [2 \cdot (\text{grad}_i / \max(C)) - (2 / \text{sum}(a))]$. This ensures that mass is removed from elements with a disproportionately high contribution to the convolution maximum.
+4. **Gaussian Mask Smoothing**: Applies a small smoothing kernel to mutation masks before scaling the sequence. This prevents high-frequency "jitter" which often creates new, secondary convolution spikes.
+5. **Balanced Mass Migration**: Uses the same sensitivity metric to migrate mass from high-impact "peaks" to low-impact "valleys," preserving the sequence sum while directly flattening the convolution envelope.

+surgical_nanosurgery_and_mass_migration
+
+
+
+This edit implements several targeted improvements to break the 1.61 plateau:
+1. **Unified Peak-to-Valley Mass Migration**: Replaces the previous coupled transfer with a more robust migration that identifies peak-contributing and valley-contributing indices using the softmax-weighted gradient. This directly redistributes mass from "inefficient" indices to "efficient" ones while preserving the sequence sum.
+2. **Nanosurgery Gradient Scaling**: Increases the softmax beta to 900 during high-progress stages to surgically isolate absolute convolution peaks. The gradient step is refined into a more stable log-derivative form with Gaussian smoothing to prevent high-frequency noise.
+3. **Resolution & Time Management**: Adjusts the resolution progression and time shares to allow for more refinement iterations at higher resolutions (512 and 768).
+4. **Early & Consistent Symmetry Enforcement**: Since the theoretical optima for this inequality are symmetric, the code now enforces symmetry more aggressively starting at 40% progress, effectively halving the search space dimensionality during the most critical optimization phase.

+nanosurgery_with_spectral_smoothing
+
+
+
+This update refines the optimization search by:
+1. **Resolution Ladder Expansion**: Adding a $n=384$ intermediate stage to better bridge the gap between low-resolution envelope discovery and high-resolution fine-tuning.
+2. **Surgical Gradient Smoothing**: Applying a Gaussian-like kernel (size 5) to the Mirror Descent relative gradient. This suppresses high-frequency artifacts (jitter) that create secondary convolution spikes, which are the primary obstacle to breaking the 1.60 score threshold.
+3. **Enhanced Nanosurgery**: Increasing the softmax $\beta$ to 1200 during the final stage to isolate exact peak contributors for surgical reduction.
+4. **Symmetry-Aware Seeding**: Refining the power-law and tapered window seeds to focus on indices known to produce flatter convolutions in the AC inequality problem.
+5. **Robust Symmetry Enforcement**: Increasing the deterministic enforcement of symmetry as progress approaches 1.0, effectively halving the search space complexity when iterations are most expensive.

+
+
+This update implements several surgical refinements to the search process:
+1. **Elevated Softmax Beta (Nanosurgery)**: Increases the gradient softmax $\beta$ from a max of 800 to 1200 using a more aggressive power schedule. This allows the optimizer to isolate the sequence indices responsible for the convolution peak with much higher precision.
+2. **Smarter Gradient Smoothing**: Replaces the simple 3-tap kernel with a more robust 5-tap Gaussian-like kernel `[0.05, 0.2, 0.5, 0.2, 0.05]` to ensure that "nanosurgery" updates don't introduce high-frequency jaggedness.
+3. **Refined Mass Migration**: Improves the Peak-to-Valley move by targeting the redistrubution based on the gradient and using a more conservative migration rate in the final stages.
+4. **Enhanced Seeding**: Increases the number of initial search attempts and introduces a "Soft-Tapered" power law seed to better explore the potential optimal envelope.
+5. **Aggressive Symmetry Focus**: Forces symmetry more consistently in the final resolution phase ($n=768$) where the optimal sequence is highly likely to be symmetric.

+log_grad_nanosurgery_with_symmetry

+
+
+Optimizes the step-function coefficient sequence by implementing three major refinements:
+1. **Refined Log-Derivative Gradient Step**: Transitions from a standard gradient to the analytical relative derivative of the objective function ($2n \max(c) / (\sum a)^2$). It uses a high-beta softmax to isolate convolution peaks and applies a Gaussian-like smoothing kernel to the update vector, preventing high-frequency jitter and "peaks jumping" at high resolutions.
+2. **Explicit Half-Dimensionality and Symmetry Scaling**: Increases the probability and determinism of symmetry enforcement, as symmetric sequences are theoretically favored for this AC inequality problem. Symmetry is enforced progressively more strictly as the algorithm advances toward the 768-resolution phase.
+3. **Surgical Mass Migration and Spectral Damping**: Updates the migration move to use a concentrated softmax for more precise redistribution of mass from high-contribution to low-contribution indices. Adds a spectral damping move to refine the macro-envelope of the sequence by suppressing high-frequency noise that typically limits late-stage convergence.

+distributed_peak_reduction_and_weighted_res
+
+
+
+The following changes are implemented to improve the search for a minimum objective value:
+1. **Distributed Peak Reduction**: Instead of reducing only the single largest peak in the convolution, the mutation now identifies all peaks within 2% of the maximum value and reduces the most contributing sequence elements for each. This flattens the convolution profile more effectively.
+2. **Multi-Index Compensation**: The compensation move now identifies multiple indices that do not contribute to any convolution peaks (within 10% of the max) and increases their values simultaneously. This raises the total sum of the sequence without affecting the convolution maximum, thus lowering the objective ratio.
+3. **Adaptive Spectral Mutation**: The FFT mutation now includes a small random jitter in the low-frequency components to explore smooth, global shape variations while continuing to damp high-frequency noise.
+4. **Weighted Resolution Schedule**: Time allocation is shifted significantly toward the highest resolution (768), which is where the finest tuning occurs. 60% of the total budget is now reserved for the final resolution.
+5. **Symmetry Preservation**: If the current best sequence is symmetric, mutations (except for the explicit symmetry-breaking ones) are automatically re-symmetrized, maintaining the benefits of symmetry throughout the search.

+AsymmetricPowerLawSoftmax
+
+
+
+The edit optimizes the sequence search by:
+1. **Introducing Asymmetric Power-Law Seeds**: Inspired by the theoretical observation that the convolution of $x^{-0.5}$ and $(1-x)^{-0.5}$ can be flatter than that of a uniform sequence (triangle), the seeding phase now includes asymmetric and symmetric power-law distributions.
+2. **Improving Softmax Gradient targeting**: The "Softmax-weighted Gradient Reduction" now uses a dynamic $\beta$ parameter that increases over time, focusing the search on the absolute maximum of the auto-convolution as the budget decreases.
+3. **Adaptive Symmetry Handling**: While symmetry is useful, the best solutions (Obj ~1.6) are often asymmetric. The edit reduces the symmetry enforcement and adds "Symmetry-Preserving" vs "Asymmetric" versions of block and scattered perturbations.
+4. **Adding a Roll Mutation**: To better explore the periodic nature of spectral and power-law shapes, a "Roll" mutation is added to shift the sequence cyclically.
+5. **Refining Move Probabilities**: Adjusting mutation weights to favor gradient-based moves and spectral perturbations.

+unified_gradient_and_multi_resolution_refinement
+
+
+
+This edit optimizes the search by refining three key areas:
+1. **Resolution Scaling**: Adds a 384-node intermediate resolution and rebalances time allocation to focus more on the critical high-resolution (512 and 768) optimization stages.
+2. **Unified Gradient Move**: Replaces separate reduction and boost moves with a more principled single step based on the relative gradient of the log-objective. This move targets indices based on their contribution to the convolution peaks relative to their contribution to the sequence sum, using an annealed softmax temperature ($\beta$) to sharpen focus on the absolute highest peaks as the search progresses.
+3. **Robust Smoothing and Symmetry**: Implements smooth mutations using local convolution blurs (to prevent new high-frequency spikes) and introduces a symmetry-breaking "jitter" to help the search escape local minima in the symmetric subspace.

+momentum_annealed_gradient_search
+
+
+
+Optimized the multi-resolution search by:
+1. Reallocating the time budget to focus more on higher resolutions (55% for N=768).
+2. Implementing a dynamic temperature (annealing) for the softmax gradient calculation, allowing the search to transition from exploring multiple peaks to focusing on the absolute highest peak.
+3. Introducing momentum to the gradient-based moves for better traversal of the convolution landscape.
+4. Consolidating peak-related mutations (gradient, surgical reduction, and denominator boost) to share a single convolution and sensitivity (gradient) calculation per iteration.
+5. Refining the "Valley Filling" (Denominator Boost) to use the sensitivity gradient, targeting indices that increase the sequence sum with the least impact on the auto-convolution peak.
+6. Enforcing symmetry more robustly during targeted surgical moves to explore the symmetric subspace efficiently.

+surgical_smoothing_and_high_res_focus
+
+
+
+Optimized the sequence refinement process with four key improvements:
+1. **Expanded Resolution Schedule**: Added an intermediate resolution (n=384) and reallocated time to favor high-resolution optimization (70% of time spent on n=512 and n=768).
+2. **Smoothed Gradient Updates**: Introduced local 3-point Gaussian-like smoothing (`[0.1, 0.8, 0.1]`) for both the sensitivity-based reduction and efficiency-targeted boost moves. This prevents the formation of high-frequency noise and new convolution spikes.
+3. **Annealed Softmax Temperature**: Increased the `beta` parameter (inverse temperature) and used a non-linear schedule (`progress**1.5`) to more aggressively target absolute convolution peaks as the search nears its deadline.
+4. **Symmetry-Aware Perturbations and Mirroring**: Modified block perturbations to be symmetry-preserving and introduced a mirrored-copy mutation to help the search navigate and stay within the high-performing symmetric subspace.

+SymmetryAnneal_and_GradSensitivity
+
+
+
+Optimizes the search by introducing four key improvements:
+1. **Symmetry Annealing**: Progressively increases the probability of forcing the sequence to be symmetric as the search approaches the deadline, leveraging the fact that optimal sequences for auto-convolution problems often exhibit symmetry.
+2. **Gaussian-Smoothed Gradient Sensitivity**: Calculates the peak sensitivity (`grad_peak`) using a softmax proxy and applies a local 3-point Gaussian blur to ensure updates are robust and do not introduce high-frequency instability.
+3. **Refined Denominator Boosting**: Instead of boosting indices with low sequence values, it targets indices with the lowest "peak sensitivity" (the most efficient locations to increase the denominator while minimizing the numerator).
+4. **Skewed Time Allocation**: Allocates more budget (65%) to the highest resolution (n=768), where the landscape is most rugged.

+surgical_peak_optimization

+
+Optimized the sequence search by:
+1. **Introducing a Multi-Resolution Schedule starting at n=128**: Finding the global structure at lower resolutions is faster and more robust before refining at higher resolutions (256, 512, 768).
+2. **Enhancing the Surgical Gradient Step**: Implemented a more aggressive peak-targeting move using a high-beta stabilized softmax (up to $\beta=300$) to concentrate pressure on the absolute convolution maxima.
+3. **Refining Efficiency-Gap Mutations**: Used a relative contribution gap (peak-contribution vs. sum-contribution) to multiplicative update sequence elements, which is more stable than additive gradient steps.
+4. **Strengthening Final-Stage Symmetry**: Increased the deterministic enforcement of symmetry as the search nears the deadline, focusing the final refinement on the most promising symmetric subspaces.
+5. **Revised Seeding**: Expanded initial diverse seeding to include lower resolution starts to better capture the optimal global "envelope".

+Optimized the sequence optimization process by:
+1. Expanding the multi-resolution schedule to start at $n=128$, allowing for faster discovery of the global sequence envelope.
+2. Refining the dynamic softmax gradient with a more aggressive beta schedule (up to 200) to sharpen focus on convolution peaks during refinement.
+3. Implementing a "Peak Pressure" move that identifies and multiplicatively reduces the specific sequence elements contributing most to the maximum convolution peaks.
+4. Adding a more robust "Inverse-weighted Contribution Boost" to selectively increase values that do not contribute to the current convolution maximum.
+5. Enhancing the symmetry preservation logic to be more deterministic in the final stages of optimization.

+targeted_peak_refinement_and_symmetry
+
+
+
+Optimizes the step-function coefficient sequence by implementing several targeted improvements:
+1. **Corrected Gradient Calculation**: Reverts the softmax gradient calculation to the 'full' convolution slice, ensuring accurate sensitivity analysis for the peak reduction move.
+2. **Stable Beta Schedule**: Reduces the maximum softmax temperature (beta) to a more stable range (up to 250), preventing the gradient from becoming too sparse or unstable.
+3. **Multiplicative Updates**: Transitions the log-gradient move to a multiplicative update scheme (`best_seq * exp(-lr * sigma * g)`), naturally preserving non-negativity and providing scale-invariant steps.
+4. **Efficiency Boost Move**: Adds a move that specifically identifies and boosts indices with the lowest contribution to the convolution peaks, thereby increasing the denominator (sum) with minimal impact on the numerator (max).
+5. **Deterministic Symmetry Enforcement**: Enforces symmetry deterministically in the final 25% of the search budget, concentrating the optimization efforts on the most promising symmetric structural candidates.
+6. **Enhanced Seeding**: Refines the seed generation to prioritize power-law distributions, which are mathematically known to yield lower values for this specific AC inequality.

+improved_seeding_and_targeted_peak_pressure
+
+
+
+Optimizes the coefficient sequence by introducing three key improvements:
+1. **Power-Law Seeding**: Adds an asymmetric power-law initialization ($a_i \approx (i+1)^{-0.5}$), which is theoretically closer to the optimal "envelope" for minimizing the AC inequality.
+2. **Multi-Resolution Expansion**: Starts the search at a lower resolution ($n=128$) to identify the global structure faster before interpolating to higher resolutions for surgical refinement.
+3. **Peak-Pressure Targeted Mutation**: Replaces generic efficiency boosts with a "Peak Pressure" move that identifies specific index pairs $(i, j)$ contributing most to the convolution maximum and reduces them multiplicatively. This more effectively stabilizes the $L_\infty$ landscape.
+4. **Enforced Symmetry**: Strategically increases symmetry enforcement as the search progresses, focusing the computational budget on the $n/2$ degrees of freedom that typically characterize optimal solutions.

+targeted_gradient_and_binomial_seeds
+
+
+
+The optimization goal is to minimize the ratio $2n \max(a * a) / (\sum a)^2$, which has a theoretical lower bound of $\pi/2 \approx 1.5708$ as $n \to \infty$. This bound is approached by the binomial sequence $a_i = \binom{2i}{i} 4^{-i}$.
+
+This edit implements two major improvements:
+1. **Binomial and Power Seeds:** Replaces the generic harmonic seeds with the near-optimal binomial sequence and its continuous approximation $i^{-0.5}$. This provides the search with a much stronger starting point close to the global optimum.
+2. **Refined Gradient-Based Peak Reduction:** Replaces random local mutations with a targeted gradient descent approach. By calculating which indices in the sequence contribute most to the peaks in the convolution, we can specifically reduce their values, effectively "flattening" the convolution and lowering the objective function. This is more efficient than random noise in the late-stage optimization of high-dimensional sequences ($n=1024$).

+mirror_descent_laddering
+
+
+
+Optimizes the coefficient sequence using a high-resolution resolution-laddering approach combined with an improved Mirror Descent algorithm.
+
+Key improvements:
+1. **Resolution Laddering**: Starts at $n=512$, then upsamples to $n=1024$ and finally $n=1536$ as the budget allows. This allows the solver to find the general shape quickly and then refine fine-grained peaks.
+2. **Symmetric Gradient Awareness**: While not strictly enforcing symmetry (as the binomial sequence is not symmetric), it uses a more robust gradient calculation through cross-correlation and includes symmetric mutations to explore the search space.
+3. **Annealed Softmax Weighting**: Focuses the gradient calculation progressively more on the absolute maximum of the autoconvolution as the optimization continues, allowing for precise "peak shaving".
+4. **Multiplicative Mirror Descent**: Uses exponential updates that naturally preserve non-negativity and are better suited for the scale-invariant objective.
+5. **Targeted Initialization**: Performs a sweep over the binomial parameter $k$ at multiple resolutions to find a superior starting point.

+
+Optimized the sequence search by implementing two major structural improvements: Multi-Stage Resolution Laddering and Nesterov-style Lookahead Gradient Descent.
+
+1. **Resolution Laddering**: The program now starts at a resolution of $n=1024$ to rapidly identify the coarse binomial shape and then upsamples to $n=2048$ at 30% of the time budget. This allows for more precise "peak shaving" of the convolution at high resolution while maximizing the efficiency of early iterations.
+2. **Nesterov Lookahead**: Upgraded the momentum-augmented Mirror Descent to evaluate the gradient at a "look-ahead" sequence position ($best\_seq \cdot \exp(-momentum \cdot velocity)$). This helps navigate the narrow valleys of the $L_\infty$ convolution landscape more effectively, especially as the softmax exponent is annealed up to 1000 to focus exclusively on the absolute peaks.
+3. **Refined Hyperparameters**: Increased momentum to 0.8 and adjusted the annealing schedule to sharpen the gradient focus earlier, providing more time for fine-tuning the 2048-length sequence.

+mirror_descent_laddering_fft
+
+
+
+This optimization implements a momentum-augmented Mirror Descent search with resolution laddering ($1024 \to 1536 \to 2048$) and FFT-based upsampling.
+
+Key improvements:
+1. **Resolution Laddering**: Starts at $n=1024$ for rapid exploration and transitions to $n=1536$ and $n=2048$ to refine the autoconvolution profile, as the objective improves with higher resolution.
+2. **FFT-based Upsampling**: Replaces linear interpolation with spectral zero-padding (frequency domain) to preserve the smooth binomial decay and prevent high-frequency artifacts that inflate the autoconvolution peaks.
+3. **Momentum Mirror Descent**: Uses an exponential multiplicative update ($A \cdot \exp(-\eta \cdot v)$) which naturally enforces non-negativity and is robust on the $L_\infty$ landscape.
+4. **Symmetry & Edge Tuning**: Enforces sequence symmetry (mathematically optimal) and applies a spatial gradient mask to aggressively optimize the tails of the distribution.
+5. **Softmax Gradient**: Replaces the hard-threshold peak search with a dynamic softmax weighting that sharpens over time, allowing the optimizer to flatten the entire convolution plateau simultaneously.

+Optimizes the step-function coefficient search by implementing Nesterov-Accelerated Mirror Descent with Spectral Gradient Smoothing and Spatial Edge Weighting.
+1. Increases resolution to $n=1536$ to allow finer flattening of the autoconvolution profile.
+2. Replaces standard Mirror Descent with a Nesterov-style lookahead (evaluating gradients at a predicted future state) to better navigate the high-curvature ridges of the $L_\infty$ landscape.
+3. Applies a spectral smoothing filter (Gaussian-like convolution) to the gradient updates to prevent high-frequency oscillations.
+4. Introduces a spatial mask to the gradient that amplifies updates at the sequence boundaries (edges), which are critical for controlling tail decay and overall convolution peaks.
+5. Sharpens the softmax exponent cooling (up to 1000) to focus optimization on the absolute maximum peaks as the budget expires.

+
+
+
+Optimizes the coefficient sequence by focusing on the binomial sequence plateau, which is a known near-optimal point for this objective ($\pi/2 \approx 1.5708$).
+
+Improvements:
+1. **Expanded Seed Pool**: Searches over a range of binomial parameters $k$ (around 1.0) and power-law exponents $p$ (around 0.5) to find better discrete starting points for finite $n$.
+2. **Larger $n$**: Includes $n=1152$ in addition to $1024$, as the objective $V = 2n \max(C) / S^2$ for the binomial sequence improves as $n \to \infty$.
+3. **Refined Gradient Search**:
+ - Uses a more selective peak threshold (0.998) and higher peak weighting (power of 4) to focus the gradient on the most critical convolution peaks.
+ - Implements a more granular line search with 5 steps for better convergence.
+ - Transitions from additive to multiplicative noise (log-normal) to better preserve the non-negative decaying structure of the sequence.
+4. **Variety in Mutations**: Adds a power-transform mutation ($a_i \to a_i^p$) to allow the search to explore different decay curves efficiently.

+mirror_descent_with_laddering
+
+
+
+This edit optimizes the coefficient sequence using a multi-stage approach:
+1. **Systematic Binomial Initialization**: Replaces the diverse pool with a targeted sweep of the binomial parameter $k$ to find the optimal starting basin for the given $n$.
+2. **Resolution Laddering**: Starts optimization at $n=1024$ and escalates to $n=1536$ halfway through the budget, utilizing the fact that the objective $2n \cdot \max(c) / (\sum a)^2$ often yields better results at higher resolutions.
+3. **Entropic Mirror Descent**: Replaces heuristic updates with a multiplicative gradient descent focused on the autoconvolution peaks. The gradient is calculated efficiently using cross-correlation of exponential peak weights.
+4. **Annealed Peak Weighting**: The gradient pressure is increasingly focused on the absolute maximum of the convolution profile as the time budget elapses.
+5. **Robust Step Search**: Implements a mini line-search for the Mirror Descent step size to ensure monotonic improvement and numerical stability.

+
+Refine the Mirror Descent optimization process by incorporating gradient smoothing, a more granular line search, and a diverse initialization sweep. The update includes a 'cooling' schedule for the gradient smoothing to transition from global shape establishmemt to fine-grained peak shaving. Evidence suggests the 1.57 plateau is tied to the binomial sequence (1-z)^{-1/2}, so we expand the initialization to search for the optimal binomial 'k' more precisely and introduce a dual initialization (both one-sided and symmetric) to explore both potential solution basins.

+targeted_peak_and_diverse_seeds
+
+
+
+Optimizing the step-function coefficient sequence using a targeted peak-reduction strategy and a diverse set of initial shapes.
+
+The objective $2n \max(a*a) / (\sum a)^2$ can be minimized by making the linear convolution as flat as possible. For nonnegative sequences, this is achieved by sequences that are relatively uniform but contain specific oscillations or shapes that cancel out convolution peaks.
+
+Improvements:
+1. **Diverse Initial Seeds**: Added high-frequency sine waves, humps (Beta-like), and bathtub shapes (decreasing/increasing) to the initialization pool.
+2. **Targeted Peak Mutation**: Introduced a mutation that identifies the specific index $k^*$ where the convolution $a*a$ is maximized. It then identifies the element $a_i$ contributing most to this peak (i.e., $a_i$ such that $a_i \cdot a_{k^*-i}$ is maximal) and reduces it. When combined with renormalization, this effectively flattens the convolution.
+3. **Adaptive Multi-start**: Uses a larger initial pool to select the most promising starting shape before beginning the local search.
+4. **Refined Mutation Set**: Replaced simple point mutations with multiplicative point noise (preserving non-negativity) and added symmetry-promoting moves like reversals and upsampling via linear interpolation.

+This optimization introduces four key improvements based on the analysis of the 1.57 theoretical limit:
+1. **Staged Resolution Escalation**: The search begins at $n=1024$ to establish the global profile and progressively upsamples to $n=1536$ and finally $n=2048$. Higher resolutions provide more degrees of freedom to "shave" convolution peaks.
+2. **Enforced Symmetry**: Since the optimal sequence for this problem is theoretically symmetric, we restrict the search space by symmetrizing the sequence, gradient, and momentum at every iteration. This reduces noise and doubles the effective search density.
+3. **Enhanced Softmax Weighting and Bottlenecking**: We refine the peak-weighting exponent schedule and introduce a thresholding stage in the final 15% of the budget. This forces the optimizer to focus exclusively on the absolute bottlenecks of the convolution.
+4. **Refined Momentum and Line Search**: We adjust the momentum for higher stability at high resolutions and introduce an adaptive line search that narrows its range as the sequence converges.
