contents Human mobility generation aims to synthesize realistic trip chains for target populations based on individual features. Existing paradigms, including deep generative models, LLM-based methods, and traditional heuristics, struggle to satisfy the complex demands of this task while simultaneously maintaining interpretability, behavioral plausibility, population-level distributional alignment, and inference efficiency. To bridge this gap, we introduce MobEvolve, the first agentic self-evolving heuristic framework for human mobility generation. MobEvolve initializes a behavior-inspired heuristic system and employs an LLM agent to iteratively evolve its internal logic. By diagnosing empirical misalignments and failure cases on a validation set, the agent proposes targeted updates and accumulates evolution memory for cumulative self-improvement. Extensive evaluations on the Singapore and Montreal benchmarks demonstrate that MobEvolve significantly outperforms state-of-the-art deep generative and LLM-based methods in individual trajectory fidelity, population-level distribution alignment, and behavioral plausibility, while preserving interpretability and high inference efficiency.
