Concave Continuation: Linking Routing to Arbitrage

Ruichao Jiang, Long Wen

Abstract

We extend AMM trade functions to negative inputs via the \textit{concave continuation}, derived from the invariance of the local conservation law under allocation direction flips. This unifies routing and arbitrage into a single problem. We extend the one-hop transfer algorithm proposed in \cite{jiang} to this setting.
