{{Main|Dynamic programming}}

'''Dynamic programming''' is both a [[mathematical optimization]] method and a computer programming method. It refers to simplifying a complicated problem by breaking it down into simpler sub-problems in a [[Recursion|recursive]] manner. While some [[decision problemsproblem]]s cannot be taken apart this way, decisions that span several points in time do often break apart recursively. Likewise, in computer science, if a problem can be solved optimally by breaking it into sub-problems and then recursively finding the optimal solutions to the sub-problems, then it is said to have [[optimal substructure]].
