arXiv:2509.08269v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated with evolutionary computation to support optimization tasks. This survey primarily focuses on evolutionary optimization, i.e., optimization based on evolutionary computation. For brevity, we use the term optimization throughout to denote this scope. However, existing surveys typically examine isolated roles of LLMs and do not provide a unified view that connects optimization modeling with optimization solving. To address this gap, we systematically review recent developments throu
