Abstract

The paper presents a comparative analysis of different commercial and academic software. The comparison aims to examine how the integrated adaptive grid refinement methodologies can deal with challenging, electromagnetic-field related problems. For this comparison, two benchmark problems were examined in the paper. The first example is a solution of an L-shape domain like test problem, which has a singularity at a certain point in the geometry. The second problem is an induction heated aluminum rod, which accurate solution needs to solve a non-linear, coupled physical fields. The accurate solution of this problem requires applying adaptive mesh generation strategies or applying a very fine mesh in the electromagnetic domain, which can significantly increase the computational complexity. The results show that the fully-hp adaptive meshing strategies, which are integrated into Agros-suite, can significantly reduce the task's computational complexity compared to the automatic h-adaptivity, which is part of the examined, popular commercial solvers.

SkillRefine: Cross-Source Skill Induction and Execution Validation for LLM Agents in Refinery Planning Software

Operating industrial planning software such as AspenTech PIMS (Process Industry Modeling System) requires an LLM agent to combine structural knowledge, procedural knowledge from expert records, and constraints revealed only during execution. These evidence sources are heterogeneous and individually incomplete: documentation describes tables and interfaces but omits task-level coordination, expert CASE records expose multi-table modification patterns without explicit schema grounding, and execution feedback reveals latent constraints only when a plan is executed. We present \textsc{SkillRefine}, a framework that exploits the Documentation--Practice Gap between documented structure and expert practice to extract candidate coordination patterns, ground them against table definitions and COM specifications, and compile them into progressively disclosed skill packages with provenance. The library is then refined through label-free compliance screening, oracle-based match decomposition over table, row, column, and value dimensions, and signal-conditioned trajectory attribution for localized repair. We evaluate \textsc{SkillRefine} on PIMS-Bench, a benchmark built from two AspenTech PIMS demonstration models, using disjoint construction and held-out test tasks. On the held-out test set, \textsc{SkillRefine} achieves absolute component match F1 gains of 14\%--30\% across four LLM backbones, with the largest gains on complex multi-table coordination tasks.

Simulation-Efficient Analog Circuit Yield Optimization via Monte Carlo Zeroth-Order Gradient Estimation

Yield optimization under process variation is expensive because each candidate design must be evaluated across many Monte Carlo SPICE samples. The resulting finite-sample yield is also piecewise constant in the design parameters, providing little local information for optimization. We introduce zeroth-order Monte Carlo stochastic gradient descent (ZO-MC-SGD), a black-box method that converts continuous specification margins into stochastic descent directions. Each update evaluates opposite design perturbations under shared process samples, allowing a small simulation batch to estimate a local direction without differentiating SPICE or fitting a global surrogate model. A Spearman rank-correlation test checks that the margin-based loss orders designs consistently with empirical yield. We prove that the estimator is unbiased for a Gaussian-smoothed surrogate and derive variance and sample-complexity bounds with no explicit dependence on process dimension. Across five analog circuit benchmarks with up to 30 design variables and 42 process variables, ZO-MC-SGD reaches a mean yield of 0.95 on four circuits within 50--200 simulations and the empirical yield ceiling on the fifth. Relative to the best of five black-box and learning-based baselines, it reduces the required simulation budget by up to a factor of eight.

Centering Drives Normalization Gains: Price-Offset Nuisances in Cross-Sectional Return Prediction

Cross-sectional return prediction from raw intraday bars is sensitive to each instrument price level, an additive nuisance under a return-ranking hypothesis. We test whether removing this offset, rather than rescaling amplitudes or changing the encoder, explains gains on a point-in-time CSI~300 five-minute panel. We evaluate eight parameter-matched encoders with and without RevIN normalization; a parameter-free ladder then separates identity, scale-only, centering, last-value referencing, differencing, and standardization across all fields and restricted channels. Centering drives the reliable effect, while scale-only normalization does not help. All eight paired effects are positive and survive Holm correction on raw rank IC, after style residualization, and after further residualizing on short-term reversal. Among six stronger encoders, gains of 0.0376-0.0567 exceed the 0.0109 spread of normalized IC (0.0830-0.0939). Price-only standardization retains 93--101% of the all-field gain. These results place the main effect in transformed price-channel offset removal rather than amplitude scaling or encoder choice.
