Generalized best-first search strategies and the optimality of A*
@article{Dechter1985GeneralizedBS, title={Generalized best-first search strategies and the optimality of A*}, author={R. Dechter and J. Pearl}, journal={J. ACM}, year={1985}, volume={32}, pages={505-536} }
This paper reports several properties of heuristic best-first search strategies whose scoring functions ƒ depend on all the information available from each candidate path, not merely on the current cost g and the estimated completion cost h. It is shown that several known properties of A* retain their form (with the minmax of f playing the role of the optimal cost), which helps establish general tests of admissibility and general conditions for node expansion for these strategies. On the basis… CONTINUE READING
