תקציר	Branch and Bound is a systematic exact algorithm for combinatorial and integer optimization problems, introduced by Ailsa Land and Alison Doig in 1960. It organizes the search space as a tree of subproblems, uses relaxation-derived upper bounds to prune branches that cannot improve the best known solution, and guarantees finding a globally optimal integer solution. It is the backbone of modern mixed-integer programming solvers used in operations research, logistics, scheduling, and engineering design.	Constraint Programming (CP) is a declarative optimization paradigm in which a problem is formulated as a set of variables, finite domains, and constraints, and a solver systematically searches for assignments that satisfy all constraints. Formalized comprehensively by Rossi, van Beek, and Walsh in their 2006 Handbook of Constraint Programming, CP unifies propagation-based pruning with intelligent backtracking search to tackle combinatorial problems across scheduling, planning, and configuration domains.	Dynamic Programming (DP) is an exact optimization technique introduced by Richard Bellman in 1957 for solving multi-stage decision problems. It decomposes a complex problem into simpler, overlapping subproblems, solves each subproblem once, and stores the results to avoid redundant computation. Grounded in the Principle of Optimality, DP guarantees globally optimal solutions whenever the problem exhibits overlapping subproblems and optimal substructure.
