  2. Depth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search

    It is also possible to use depth-first search to linearly order the vertices of a graph or tree. There are four possible ways of doing this: A preordering is a list of the vertices in the order that they were first visited by the depth-first search algorithm. This is a compact and natural way of describing the progress of the search, as was ...

  3. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    A basic example of short-circuiting is given in depth-first search (DFS) of a binary tree; see binary trees section for standard recursive discussion. The standard recursive algorithm for a DFS is: base case: If current node is Null, return false; recursive step: otherwise, check value of current node, return true if match, otherwise recurse on ...

  4. Graph traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_traversal

    A depth-first search (DFS) is an algorithm for traversing a finite graph. DFS visits the child vertices before visiting the sibling vertices; that is, it traverses the depth of any particular path before exploring its breadth. A stack (often the program's call stack via recursion) is generally used when implementing the algorithm.

  5. Maze generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm

    Randomized depth-first search on a hexagonal grid. The depth-first search algorithm of maze generation is frequently implemented using backtracking. This can be described with a following recursive routine: Given a current cell as a parameter; Mark the current cell as visited; While the current cell has any unvisited neighbour cells

  6. Tree traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_traversal

    In depth-first search (DFS), the search tree is deepened as much as possible before going to the next sibling. To traverse binary trees with depth-first search, perform the following operations at each node: [3] [4] If the current node is empty then return. Execute the following three operations in a certain order: [5] N: Visit the current node.

  7. 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.

  8. Eight queens puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

    Most often, it is used as an example of a problem that can be solved with a recursive algorithm, by phrasing the n queens problem inductively in terms of adding a single queen to any solution to the problem of placing n−1 queens on an n×n chessboard.

  9. 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.
