Minimum circuit complexity #
Complexity is the infimum of the costs of all circuits computing a target,
valued in the extended natural numbers. Nonrepresentable targets therefore
have complexity ⊤, while representable targets recover an ordinary minimum.
Minimum weighted cost of a target. The value is ⊤ when no circuit
computes the target.
