Английская Википедия:Exact algorithm
Материал из Онлайн справочника
In computer science and operations research, exact algorithms are algorithms that always solve an optimization problem to optimality.
Unless P = NP, an exact algorithm for an NP-hard optimization problem cannot run in worst-case polynomial time. There has been extensive research on finding exact algorithms whose running time is exponential with a low base.[1] [2]
