Most of [[algorithms]] are '''static''' in the sense that the recorded information will destruct after solving the problem, but sometimes people want to maintain some properties and need algorithms working as monitors.

The goal of '''dynamic algorithms''' is to efficiently update the solution of problem after [[dynamic change]]s. There are two kinds of dynamic algorithms, one is '''partially dynamic''' if the defined operations are irreversible, and the second kind is '''fully dynamic''' if the defined operations are reversible.

For example, a partially dynamic graph algorithm for connectivity is allowed only insertion of edge or deletion of edge, hence its defined operation is irreversible.
