Dancing Links, often abbreviated as DLX, is an algorithm specifically designed for efficiently solving the exact cover problem. The exact cover problem involves selecting subsets from a collection of sets such that each element in a universal set is covered exactly once by the selected subsets. The algorithm is based on a data structure called "doubly linked lists," which facilitates the quick addition and removal of rows and columns from the sets being considered.
