This paper reviews several problems that arise in the area of design automation. Most of these problems are shown to be NP-hard. Further, it is unlikely that any of these problems can be solved by fast approximation algorithms that guarantee solutions that are always within some fixed relative error of the optimal solution value. This points out the importance of heuristics and other tools to obtain algorithms that perform well on the problem instances of interest.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
