Comment on Evolutionary algorithms and analog electronic circuits

Rudolf Kalman, the guy who invented the Kalman Filter, seems to be interested in this kind of stuff, too.

He gave a talk at TUM a few years ago where he tried to motivate students to work on the problem of inverting transfer functions. The talk was for mathematicians, so I didn't understand a lot and might be completely mistaken. To make things worse I know little about circuits. So if I say something wrong here, plz correct me. The way I remember it was something along the lines:

For a given circuit, made out of resistors (R), capacitors (C) and inductors (I), it is straight forward to compute the transfer function (input/output relationship) F. Given such a transfer function F, what would be a corresponding combination of R's, C's and I's? In other words, can you invert F?
