= Method of Four Russians
{wiki=Method_of_Four_Russians}
The Method of Four Russians is a computational technique used primarily in the fields of computer science and combinatorial optimization. It was introduced to improve the efficiency of dynamic programming algorithms, particularly for problems that can be broken down into overlapping subproblems, such as string matching, alignment, or various optimization problems. The main idea behind the Method of Four Russians is to precompute certain values to reduce the number of calculations needed during the dynamic programming phase.
