Search

Definition :




A search problem consists of :

·
State spaces
Start state
·




·
Actions
·
successor function Succ(s a) ,

·
Goal test
·
Path cost function
A of actions from start

solution is a
sequence to
goal

, Search Tree vs . Graph Search


Tree Search :
·
states
may repeat
computation'
·
more




Graph Search :
·
maintains closed set
·
never expands a state twice



Evaluation Criteria
Completeness

·

Optimality
