## Abstract Exact algorithms for the calculation of melting curves of heterogeneous DNA with __N__ base pairs apparently require computer time proportional to __N__^2^. However, it is shown that a decomposition of the loop entropy factor into a sum of __I__ exponential functions (1) gives an extrem
