Framed in that way, it is likely that running some sort of optimization algorithm is going to be tricky... Framed the way solitons are usually framed, as a waveform that doesn't change shape when propagated, it seems one could frame a genetic algorithm with such a fitness function (how much the wavefunction changes). In another sense, a saddle point is a minimum on one axis and a maximum on another... maybe optimization could be done in that way... though I'm not sure that is practical.
