Overlapping subproblems — In computer science, a problem is said to have overlapping subproblems if the problem can be broken down into subproblems which are reused several times or a recursive algorithm for the problem solves the same subproblem over and over rather than … Wikipedia
Maximum subarray problem — In computer science, the maximum subarray problem is the task of finding the contiguous subarray within a one dimensional array of numbers (containing at least one positive number) which has the largest sum. For example, for the sequence of… … Wikipedia
Dynamic programming — For the programming paradigm, see Dynamic programming language. In mathematics and computer science, dynamic programming is a method for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems. It is applicable to problems… … Wikipedia
Divide and conquer algorithm — In computer science, divide and conquer (D C) is an important algorithm design paradigm based on multi branched recursion. A divide and conquer algorithm works by recursively breaking down a problem into two or more sub problems of the same (or… … Wikipedia
Longest common subsequence problem — Not to be confused with longest common substring problem. The longest common subsequence (LCS) problem is to find the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two). Note that subsequence is different from a… … Wikipedia
Algorithm — Flow chart of an algorithm (Euclid s algorithm) for calculating the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) of two numbers a and b in locations named A and B. The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≤ A yields yes… … Wikipedia
Problem Frames Approach — Problem Analysis or the Problem Frames Approach is an approach to software requirements analysis. It was developed by British software consultant Michael A. Jackson. The Problem Frames Approach was first sketched by Jackson in his book Software… … Wikipedia
