Optimal-substructureIn computer science, the Optimal-substructure property refers to problems with optimal solutions that exhibit optimal solutions in its subproblems. This property is used to determine the usefulness of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms in a problem.An example of Optimal-substructure includes the fact that if a subproblem Sab has an activity Py, then it should contain optimal solutions to subproblems Say and Syb.
