I think by react you meant react to, which was fair enough, it was dodgy as. Now running well.
The property of getting a guaranteed optimum is something that arises from setting the design problem up as a geometric program. You won't always get a solution (for example, a certain size quad has a minimum prop diameter). Though if you do, it is guaranteed to be optimum because the problem is convex as outlined here: https://gpkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gp101.html https://gpkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gp101.html
Also, conflicting objectives are naturally traded off until you find a Pareto optimal solution. Using geometric programs lets you balance conflicts in a design quickly. This is why they are super useful for aerospace applications, where you are always looking at a tradeoff between weight and at least one other variable.
