Abstract
The dynamic programming technique employs a lexical tree that is encoded in computer memory as a flat representation in which the nodes of each generation occupy contiguous memory locations. The traversal algorithm employs a set of traversal rules whereby nodes of a given generation are processed before the parent nodes of that generation. The deepest child generation is processed first and traversal among nodes of each generation proceeds in the same topological direction.
