3. Depth-first search(DFS)

❖ Complete? No (fails in infinite-depth spaces, spaces with loops)

❖ Time? Time Consuming-O(b^m) > O(b^d)

❖ Space? Better than BFS --O(bm)

❖ Optimal? No

✓ m is the maximum depth of any node


✓ d is the depth of the shallowest solution

7
DFS, evaluation

❖ DFS would require 156 kilobytes instead of 10 exabytes at depth d = 16, a factor of
7 trillion times less space.

12
DFS-based BACKTRACKING SEARCH

❖A variant of DFS uses less memory.


❖Only O(m) memory is needed rather than O(bm).

❖Why??

13
DFS, Example

Consider this state space for a given problem :

Apply DFS to find the goal state, G?

14
4. Depth-limited search

❖Embarrassing failure of DFS in infinite state spaces


using a predetermined depth limit ℓ.

❖Time & space complexity is O(bℓ).

✓ DLS is a source of incompleteness--when??

✓ DLS is nonoptimal--when??

Iterative Depth-search (IDS)

❖ Complete? Yes

❖ Time? Time Consuming –O(b^d)-BFS

❖ Space Less Space --DFS

❖ Optimal? Yes (if all trans. have same cost)

9
IDS

❑IDS seems wasteful and costly w.r.t. BFS!


❖Is this true? Specify!
✓ Ex. if b = 10 and d = 5

❖The preferred uninformed search method when the


search space is large, and the depth of the solution is
not known.

33
6. Bidirectional search (BDS)

❖BDS search simultaneously forward from START and backward


from GOAL.
❖Replacing the goal test with a check whether the frontiers of
the two searches intersect.
❖Solution is found if the two searches meet.

▪ Time & space complexity of BDS using BFS in both directions is


O(b^d/2).

35
BDS

❖ For example, if a problem has solution depth d=6, and


each direction runs BFS one node at a time, then in the
worst case the two searches meet when they have
generated all of the nodes at depth 3.

❖ For b=10, this means a total of 2,220 node generations,


compared with 1,111,110 for a standard BFS.

❖ Is there is some way to reduce the space requirements of BDS??

36
Applications

❖ GPS Navigation systems: Google Maps, which can give


directions to reach from one place to another using BDS

❖ Social Networks: Facebook treats each user profile as a node


on the graph search space and two nodes are said to be
connected if they are each other's friends.

Quiz

❑ Based on this graph, initial state is S and goal state is G


1- Apply BFS to reach destination state
2- Apply DFS to reach destination state
3-Apply IDS to reach destination state
4-Apply UCS to reach destination state , is this the optimal solution? Why?

❑ For each algorithm:


- Compute solution cost, (if there is a solution)
- Express time and space in terms of # nodes
