| contents | We study the optimal routing problem in decentralized exchanges built on Constant Function Market Makers when trades can be split across multiple heterogeneous pools and execution incurs fixed on-chain costs (gas fees). While prior routing formulations typically abstract from fixed activation costs, real on-chain execution presents non-negligible gas fees. They also become convex under concavity/convexity assumptions on the invariant functions. We propose a general optimization framework that allows differentiable invariant functions beyond global convexity and incorporates fixed gas fees through a mixed-integer model that induces activation thresholds. Subsequently, we introduce a relaxed formulation of this model, whereby we deduce necessary optimality conditions, obtaining an explicit Karush-Kuhn-Tucker system that links prices, fees, and activation. We further establish sufficient optimality conditions using tools from generalized convexity (pseudoconcavity/pseudoconvexity and quasilinearity), yielding a verifiable optimality characterization without requiring convex trade functions. Finally, we relate the relaxed solution to the original mixed-integer model by providing explicit approximation bounds that quantify the utility gap induced by relaxation. Our results extend the mathematical theory for routing by offering no-trade conditions in fragmented on-chain markets in the presence of gas fees. |
