Finding the pattern
For small width, Broken Profile DP often reduces to a simple recurrence. Hand-find or compute numerically. Method : compute first values with DP, then guess the recurrence and verify.
Method : the transition matrix has constant size. Its eigenvalues determine the recurrence's characteristic polynomial. Example: domino tiling has (Fibonacci). The transition matrix is .
