optimal design
It seems that it is possible to optimize any problem that can be formulated as an LP.
It is also possible to solve discrete problems the same way by writing them using continuous variables with appropriate constraints and noticing that optimal points are always are the vertices of the feasible space.
Is it possible to come up with optimal logic design(, or optimal design of other sorts).
One way to do this would be to come up with some way to constrain the design space.
But there are potentially unlimited ways to even generate a circuit as simple as an inverter.
The tricky part that I need to figure out is how to constrain the design space to junk the stupid stuff without junking the unusual but potentially good stuff.
