Some comments on how to solve overlapping subproblems would be great. --Abdull 13:40, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge into Dynamic Programming? edit
A term typically used to describe the feature of problems to which dynamic programming methodology can be applied. It is not likely that this entry could be developed into a decent article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.94.168.176 (talk) 16:57, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Move edit

The result of the move request was: page moved per discussion. This is a good example of a case where we go contrary to the usual rule and use a plural title. - GTBacchus(talk) 05:40, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Overlapping subproblem → Overlapping subproblems –
Here singular is just as meaningless as in "trouser" (Can you clap with one hand?) 71.146.88.109 (talk) 05:56, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support per nom. One of the rare cases where the article title should be a plural, as it is never singular. Jenks24 (talk) 13:08, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support as the most natural title. I disagree with the stated rational, though. We could say "That is an overlapping subproblem" (cf. "an overlapping tile was stuck against the one I was painting"); but hardly, in standard modern English, "That is a trouser." The article suggests this itself in speaking of a "subproblem" that must, as it turns out, be construed as an overlapping subproblem. Meh. NoeticaTea? 09:34, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
