Tropical Circuit Complexity - Limits of Pure Dynamic Programming - Bog af Stasys Jukna - Paperback
This book presents an enticing introduction to tropical circuits and their use as a rigorous mathematical model for dynamic programming (DP), which is one of the most fundamental algorithmic paradigms for solving combinatorial, discrete optimization problems. In DP, an optimization problem is broken up into smaller subproblems that are solved recursively. Many classical DP algorithms are pure in that they only use the basic (min, +) or (max, +) operations in their recursion equations. In tropical..
