Combinatorial search

Combinatorial search refers to a set of methods and techniques used to explore and solve problems that can be represented as a combination of discrete elements. These problems often involve finding optimal arrangements or selections from a finite set of possibilities, where the number of possible solutions increases exponentially with the size of the input. Key aspects of combinatorial search include: 1. **Problem Representation**: Problems are often represented in terms of combinatorial structures such as graphs, trees, or sets.
