Iterative compression
ID: iterative-compression
Iterative compression is a technique used primarily in computer science and optimization, particularly for solving hard problems like those in NP-hard categories. The method involves breaking down a problem into smaller parts while iteratively refining a solution until an optimal or satisfactory solution is found. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Compression**: The idea is akin to compressing the problem space—removing unnecessary components or simplifying aspects of the problem to make it more manageable.
