Sequence alignment methods often use something called a 'dynamic programming' algorithm. What is dynamic programming and how does it work?

This note deals with the manner in which dynamic problems, involving probabilistic constraints, may be tackled using the ideas of Lagrange multipliers and efficient solutions. Both the infinite and ...

It covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. It concludes with a brief introduction to intractability (NP-completeness) .

Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control is offered within DMAVT and attracts in excess of 300 students per year from a wide variety of disciplines. It is an integral part of the Robotics, System and ...

In this paper we develop a discretized version of the dynamic programming algorithm and study its convergence and stability properties. We show that the computed value function converges quadratically ...
