  2. Breadth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search

    For example, in a chess endgame, a chess engine may build the game tree from the current position by applying all possible moves and use breadth-first search to find a win position for White. Implicit trees (such as game trees or other problem-solving trees) may be of infinite size; breadth-first search is guaranteed to find a solution node [ 1 ...

  3. Depth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search

    The recursive implementation will visit the nodes from the example graph in the following order: A, B, D, F, E, C, G. The non-recursive implementation will visit the nodes as: A, E, F, B, D, C, G. The non-recursive implementation is similar to breadth-first search but differs from it in two ways: it uses a stack instead of a queue, and

  4. Parallel breadth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_breadth-first_search

    The breadth-first-search algorithm is a way to explore the vertices of a graph layer by layer. It is a basic algorithm in graph theory which can be used as a part of other graph algorithms. For instance, BFS is used by Dinic's algorithm to find maximum flow in a graph.

  5. Graph traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_traversal

    A breadth-first search (BFS) is another technique for traversing a finite graph. BFS visits the sibling vertices before visiting the child vertices, and a queue is used in the search process. This algorithm is often used to find the shortest path from one vertex to another.

  6. Iterative deepening depth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_deepening_depth...

    IDDFS achieves breadth-first search's completeness (when the branching factor is finite) using depth-first search's space-efficiency. If a solution exists, it will find a solution path with the fewest arcs. [2] Iterative deepening visits states multiple times, and it may seem wasteful.

  7. Maze-solving algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze-solving_algorithm

    Robot in a wooden maze. A maze-solving algorithm is an automated method for solving a maze.The random mouse, wall follower, Pledge, and Trémaux's algorithms are designed to be used inside the maze by a traveler with no prior knowledge of the maze, whereas the dead-end filling and shortest path algorithms are designed to be used by a person or computer program that can see the whole maze at once.

  8. Basic feasible solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_feasible_solution

    In the theory of linear programming, a basic feasible solution (BFS) is a solution with a minimal set of non-zero variables. Geometrically, each BFS corresponds to a vertex of the polyhedron of feasible solutions. If there exists an optimal solution, then there exists an optimal BFS.

  9. Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra's_algorithm

    For example, sometimes it is desirable to present solutions which are less than mathematically optimal. To obtain a ranked list of less-than-optimal solutions, the optimal solution is first calculated. A single edge appearing in the optimal solution is removed from the graph, and the optimum solution to this new graph is calculated.
