    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Dynamic programming can improve the time complexity of solving TSP from naive exponential to O(2^n * n^2).

    The supporting argument treats memoization of subproblem optima as unproblematic, yet overlooks that the subproblem space itself grows exponentially in the number of subsets of vertices.

    Key Terms

    Grows exponentially(explaining why the problem becomes harder very quickly)
    Increases extremely rapidly—like doubling again and again—so that even small increases in size create huge jumps in total amount.
    Memoization(another example of a system that produces correct answers without genuinely thinking)
    A technique where a computer saves answers it has already calculated so it can instantly reuse them later instead of recalculating.
    Optima(as used in optimization and decision-making)
    The best possible solutions to a problem—the outcomes that work better than any other option.
    Subproblem(as used in problem-solving and algorithms)
    A smaller, simpler problem that is part of solving a larger, more complex problem.
    Subproblem space

    (as used in algorithms and computational thinking)
    The collection of all the smaller problems you need to solve on your way to solving one big problem.
    Subsets(as used in set theory and logic)
    Smaller collections taken from a larger collection; for example, all red cars are a subset of all cars.
    Vertices(as used in graph theory and mathematics)
    Points or nodes in a network or graph; think of them as dots that may be connected by lines.
