Bitstrings can be permuted via permutations and compared via the lexicographic order. In this paper we study the complexity of finding a minimum of a bitstring via given permutations. As finding a global optimum is known to be NP-complete [László Babai and Eugene M. Luks, 1983], we study the local optima via the class PLS [David S. Johnson et al., 1988] and show hardness for PLS. Additionally, we show that even for one permutation the global optimization problem is NP-complete and give a formula that has these permutation as its symmetries. This answers an open question inspired from Kołodziejczyk and Thapen [Leszek Aleksander Kolodziejczyk and Neil Thapen, 2024] and stated at the SAT and interactions seminar in Dagstuhl.
