We apply optimization algorithms to the problem of finding ground stat
es for crystalline surfaces and flux-line arrays in the presence of di
sorder. The algorithms provide ground states in polynomial time, which
provides for a more precise study of the interface widths than from M
onte Carlo simulations at finite temperature. Using d = 2 systems up t
o size 420(2), with a minimum of 2 x 10(3) realizations at each size,
we find very strong evidence for a In-2(L) super-rough state at low te
mperatures.
