Dynamic programming is a powerful algorithm design technique that allows solving complex problems efficiently by breaking them down into overlapping subproblems. This approach, as discussed in the material based on the lectures of Erik Demaine at MIT and Pascal Van Hentenryck at Coursera, involves r

Dynamic programming and linear programming are powerful techniques that come into play when specialized methods fall short. Dynamic programming involves solving a problem by breaking it down into smaller subproblems and solving them incrementally. In this approach, the nodes represent subproblems, a

Dynamic programming (DP) is a bottom-up approach introduced by Richard Bellman in the 1950s. Similar to divide-and-conquer, DP breaks down complex problems into smaller subproblems, solving them methodically and storing solutions in a table for efficient computation. DP is widely used in optimizatio

Recursion in programming involves a method calling itself to solve problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems. The process requires a base condition, recursive calls, and progress towards termination. This technique is illustrated through examples like calculating factorials using recur

The Divide and Conquer approach is a powerful strategy used in computer science to break down large problems into smaller, more manageable subproblems. By recursively solving these subproblems and combining their results, this technique offers a structured way to tackle complex tasks efficiently. Th

Using the Divide and Conquer approach, this lecture discusses strategies for efficiently solving problems such as counting inversions in arrays and integer multiplication. By dividing tasks into smaller subproblems, sorting, merging, and efficiently counting operations, the algorithms presented opti
