+Find all narcissistic numbers up to a given limit using dynamic programming.
+
+A narcissistic number (also known as an Armstrong number or plus perfect number)
+is a number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the
+number of digits.
+
+For example, 153 is a narcissistic number because 153 = 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3.
+
+This implementation uses dynamic programming with memoization to efficiently
+compute digit powers and find all narcissistic numbers up to a specified limit.
+
+The DP optimization caches digit^power calculations. When searching through many
+numbers, the same digit power calculations occur repeatedly (e.g., 153, 351, 135
+all need 1^3, 5^3, 3^3). Memoization avoids these redundant calculations.
+
+Examples of narcissistic numbers:
+    Single digit: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
+    Three digit: 153, 370, 371, 407
+    Four digit: 1634, 8208, 9474
+    Five digit: 54748, 92727, 93084
