Bertele U., Brioschi F. Nonserial dynamic programming

Academic Press, 1972. - 235 Pages.Up to the present dynamic programming has been regarded as a general type of approach to problem solving, essentially based on decomposition of the given problem into a sequence of smaller subproblems.
It has permitted the solution of a remarkable number of problems (deterministic and stochastic, continuous and discrete, constrained and unconstrained, static and dynamic, and so on). In general, however, each individual situation has required derivation from the general philosophy of an ad hoc algorithm.
