# DP Optimizer Skill

## Purpose

Apply advanced dynamic programming optimizations to improve time and space complexity of DP solutions.

## Capabilities

- Convex hull trick detection and application
- Divide and conquer optimization
- Knuth optimization
- Monotonic queue/deque optimization
- Alien's trick / WQS binary search
- Rolling array optimization
- Bitmask compression

## Target Processes

- dp-state-optimization
- advanced-dp-techniques
- complexity-optimization

## Optimization Techniques

### Time Optimizations
1. **Convex Hull Trick**: O(n^2) -> O(n log n) for certain recurrences
2. **Divide & Conquer**: O(n^2 k) -> O(n k log n) when optimal j is monotonic
3. **Knuth Optimization**: O(n^3) -> O(n^2) for certain interval DP
4. **Monotonic Queue**: O(n*k) -> O(n) for sliding window DP

### Space Optimizations
1. **Rolling Array**: O(n*m) -> O(m) when only previous row needed
2. **Bitmask Compression**: Reduce state space with bit manipulation
