Exact Exponential Algorithms (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

Springer, 2010

For a long time computer scientists have distinguished between fast and slow algorithms. Fast (or good) algorithms are the algorithms that run in polynomial time, which means that the number of steps required for the algorithm to solve a problem is bounded by some polynomial in the length of the input. All other algorithms are slow (or bad)....
