Exact algorithm

In computer science and operations research, exact algorithms are algorithms that always solve an optimization problem to optimality. Unless P = NP, an exact algorithm for an NP-hard optimization problem cannot run in worst-case polynomial time. There has been extensive research on finding exact algorithms whose running time is exponential with a low base.
