  2. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    From a dynamic programming point of view, Dijkstra's algorithm for the shortest path problem is a successive approximation scheme that solves the dynamic programming functional equation for the shortest path problem by the Reaching method.

  3. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    If a greedy algorithm can be proven to yield the global optimum for a given problem class, it typically becomes the method of choice because it is faster than other optimization methods like dynamic programming. Examples of such greedy algorithms are Kruskal's algorithm and Prim's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees and the algorithm ...

  4. Optimal substructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_substructure

    Typically, a greedy algorithm is used to solve a problem with optimal substructure if it can be proven by induction that this is optimal at each step. [1] Otherwise, provided the problem exhibits overlapping subproblems as well, divide-and-conquer methods or dynamic programming may be used. If there are no appropriate greedy algorithms and the ...

  5. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    Unlike the unweighted version, there is no greedy solution to the weighted activity selection problem. However, a dynamic programming solution can readily be formed using the following approach: [1] Consider an optimal solution containing activity k. We now have non-overlapping activities on the left and right of k. We can recursively find ...

  6. Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm

    Using memoization dynamic programming reduces the complexity of many problems from exponential to polynomial. The greedy method Greedy algorithms, similarly to a dynamic programming, work by examining substructures, in this case not of the problem but of a given solution. Such algorithms start with some solution and improve it by making small ...

  7. Approximation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation_algorithm

    Greedy algorithm; Local search; Enumeration and dynamic programming (which is also often used for parameterized approximations) Solving a convex programming relaxation to get a fractional solution. Then converting this fractional solution into a feasible solution by some appropriate rounding. The popular relaxations include the following.

  8. Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra's_algorithm

    From a dynamic programming point of view, Dijkstra's algorithm is a successive approximation scheme that solves the dynamic programming functional equation for the shortest path problem by the Reaching method. [33] [34] [35] In fact, Dijkstra's explanation of the logic behind the algorithm: [36] Problem 2.

  9. Line wrap and word wrap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_wrap_and_word_wrap

    The greedy algorithm for line-breaking predates the dynamic programming method outlined by Donald Knuth in an unpublished 1977 memo describing his TeX typesetting system [4] and later published in more detail by Knuth & Plass (1981).
