Approaches in Dynamic Programming

In this blog post, we'll explore the approaches used in Dynamic Programming (DP), a powerful technique for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems. You'll learn about the two main approaches—Top-Down and Bottom-Up—how they work, their pros and cons, and examples to illustrate their application.

Dynamic Programming Optimizations

In this blog post, we'll explore Dynamic Programming (DP) Optimizations, a powerful technique used in algorithmic problem-solving. We'll cover optimizations such as Memoization, Tabulation, and State Space Reduction, and discuss their applications in solving complex problems efficiently. We'll also tackle classic DP problems like the Knapsack Problem, Longest Increasing Subsequence, and Matrix Chain Multiplication, providing Python code examples along the way. By the end, you'll understand how to implement DP solutions effectively and enhance their performance.

Fence Painting Problem

In this blog post, we'll explore the fence painting problem and calculate the number of ways to paint the fence using dynamic programming.

House Robber Algorithm

Solve the House Robber problem using dynamic programming to maximize the amount of money that can be robbed from houses without robbing two adjacent houses.

Identifying a Dynamic Programming Problem

In this blog post, we'll explore how to identify problems that can be effectively solved using Dynamic Programming (DP) techniques, focusing on the key properties of optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems.

Kadane's Algorithm

In this blog post, we'll explore Kadane's Algorithm, a dynamic programming algorithm used to find the Maximum Sum Subarray in an array.

Matrix-chain-multiplication

The program finds the optimal multiplication order for a matrix chain, minimizing scalar multiplications using dynamic programming for efficiency.

MULTISTAGE GRAPH

The multistage graph problem is finding the path with minimum cost from source to sink.

Perfect sum

The Perfect Sum problem involves finding all subsets of an array that sum up to a given target sum. The solution uses recursion and dynamic programming to efficiently count subsets with a specified sum while handling large values using modulo.

Trapped Rainwater

In this post, we'll explore a solution to the Trapped Rainwater problem, calculating how much rainwater can be held within a terrain represented by an elevation map using a dynamic programming approach.

Two City Scheduling Problem - 3D Dynamic Programming

In this post, we'll explore the Two City Scheduling problem, a classic algorithmic challenge that can be solved efficiently using 3D Dynamic Programming. We'll delve into the problem's constraints, discuss the dynamic programming approach, and provide solutions in multiple languages such as C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, and Go. By the end, you'll understand how to use DP to minimize the total travel costs for sending an equal number of people to two different cities.

What is Memoization?

Memoization is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up recursive algorithms by caching previously computed results.
