  1. Breadth-First Searches Introduction to AI

  2. Breadth-First Search • Using a breadth-first strategy we expand the root level first and then we expand all those nodes (i.e. those at level 1) before we expand any nodes at level 2. • Or to put it another way, all nodes at level d are expanded before any nodes at level d+1. Function BREADTH-FIRST-SEARCH(problem) returns a solution or failure Return GENERAL-SEARCH(problem,ENQUEUE-AT-END) • To illustrate this search pattern we will be using an example node set containing 26 nodes (states). The initial state will be node A, and the goal state is node L. Press space to see the example node set.

  3. The example node set Initial state A A B C D E F Goal state G H I J K L L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Press space to see a BFS of the example node set

  4. Node A is removed from the queue. Each revealed node is added to the END of the queue. Press space to continue the search. This node is then expanded to reveal further (unexpanded) nodes. Press space We begin with our initial state: the node labeled A. Press space to continue Node B is expanded then removed from the queue. The revealed nodes are added to the END of the queue. Press space. We then backtrack to expand node C, and the process continues. Press space The search then moves to the first node in the queue. Press space to continue.
