Some comments on how to solve overlapping subproblems would be great. --Abdull 13:40, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Dynamic Programming?

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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. Noetica^Tea? 09:34, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
