记忆和动态规划的区别是什么?我认为动态规划是记忆的一个子集。对吗?


当前回答

动态规划(DP)和记忆化之间有一些相似之处,在大多数情况下,您可以通过记忆实现动态规划过程,反之亦然。但它们确实有一些区别,你应该在决定使用哪种方法时查看它们:

Memoization is a top-down approach during which you decompose a big problem into smaller-size subproblems with the same properties and when the size is small enough you can easily solve it by bruteforcing. Dynamic Programming is a bottom-up approach during which you firstly calculate the answer of small cases and then use them to construct the answer of big cases. During coding, usually memoization is implemented by recursion while dynamic programming does calculation by iteration. So if you have carefully calculate the space and time complexity of your algorithm, using dynamic-programming-style implementation can offer you better performance. There do exist situations where using memoization has advantages. Dynamic programming needs to calculate every subproblem because it doesn't know which one will be useful in the future. But memoization only calculate the subproblems related to the original problem. Sometimes you may design a DP algorithm with theoretically tremendous amount of dp status. But by careful analyses you find that only an acceptable amount of them will be used. In this situation it's preferred to use memoization to avoid huge execution time.

记忆有关

在计算中,记忆是一种主要使用的优化技术 通过函数调用来加速计算机程序,避免重复 对先前处理过的输入的结果的计算。

动态规划

在数学和计算机科学中,动态规划是一种方法 把复杂的问题分解成更简单的问题 子问题。

当把一个问题分解成更小/更简单的子问题时,我们经常会不止一次遇到相同的子问题——所以我们使用Memoization来保存以前的计算结果,这样我们就不需要重复它们了。

动态编程经常遇到使用内存是有意义的情况,但您可以使用任何一种技术而不必使用另一种技术。

动态规划是对普通递归算法的优化,它考虑所有输入的组合以提供最合适的答案。这种方法有一个缺点,它的时间复杂度很高。使用记忆法可以使记忆更有效。它将存储子问题的每个输出,并在该算法再次尝试解决该子问题时直接给出答案。这可以使算法具有多项式的时间复杂度。

记忆和动态规划的区别是什么?

记忆是描述一种优化技术的术语,在这种技术中缓存以前计算的结果,并在再次需要相同的计算时返回缓存的结果。

动态规划是一种迭代求解递归性质问题的技术,适用于子问题的计算重叠的情况。

动态编程通常使用制表实现,但也可以使用记忆实现。所以你可以看到,两者都不是另一个的“子集”。


一个合理的后续问题是:制表(典型的动态编程技术)和记忆之间的区别是什么?

当你用制表法解决一个动态规划问题时,你是“自底向上”地解决问题,也就是说,首先解决所有相关的子问题,通常是填满一个n维表。根据表中的结果,然后计算“顶部”/原始问题的解决方案。

如果您使用记忆来解决问题,您可以通过维护已经解决的子问题的映射来实现。从“自顶向下”的意义上说,首先解决“顶部”问题(通常递归向下解决子问题)。

这里有一个很好的幻灯片(链接现在死了,但幻灯片仍然很好):

If all subproblems must be solved at least once, a bottom-up dynamic-programming algorithm usually outperforms a top-down memoized algorithm by a constant factor No overhead for recursion and less overhead for maintaining table There are some problems for which the regular pattern of table accesses in the dynamic-programming algorithm can be exploited to reduce the time or space requirements even further If some subproblems in the subproblem space need not be solved at all, the memoized solution has the advantage of solving only those subproblems that are definitely required

这是一个记忆和DP从斐波那契数问题写在Java的例子。

这里的动态编程不涉及递归,因为它不受执行堆栈的限制,所以结果更快,可以计算出更高的值。

 public static long fibonacciMemoization(int i) {
    return fibonacciMemoization(i, new long[i + 1]);

 public static long fibonacciMemoization(int i, long[] memo) {
    if (i <= 1) {
        return 1;
    }
    if (memo[i] != 0) {
        return memo[i];
    }
    long val = fibonacciMemoization(i - 1, memo) + fibonacciMemoization(i - 2, memo);
    memo[i] = val;
    return val;
