When to use which
Use D&C when: DP has layers: . Partitioning into groups. Use Knuth when: DP is interval-based: . Combining subproblems. Both need: Cost satisfies the quadrangle inequality.
If unsure which, check the recurrence structure. Layers = D&C. Intervals = Knuth. Understanding this concept will help you solve more complex problems.
