  2. Depth-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search

    If G is a tree, replacing the queue of the breadth-first search algorithm with a stack will yield a depth-first search algorithm. For general graphs, replacing the stack of the iterative depth-first search implementation with a queue would also produce a breadth-first search algorithm, although a somewhat nonstandard one. [7]

  3. 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.

  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. Smoothsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothsort

    Smoothsort uses a different mapping, a bottom-up depth-first post-order traversal. A left child is followed by the subtree rooted at its sibling, and a right child is followed by its parent. Every element has a well-defined height above the leaves, and every non-leaf element has its children earlier in the array. Its depth below the root ...

  6. Iterative deepening depth-first search - Wikipedia

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

    All together, an iterative deepening search from depth all the way down to depth expands only about % more nodes than a single breadth-first or depth-limited search to depth , when =. [ 4 ] The higher the branching factor, the lower the overhead of repeatedly expanded states, [ 1 ] : 6 but even when the branching factor is 2, iterative ...

  7. Iterative deepening A* - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_deepening_A*

    Iterative deepening A* (IDA*) is a graph traversal and path search algorithm that can find the shortest path between a designated start node and any member of a set of goal nodes in a weighted graph. It is a variant of iterative deepening depth-first search that borrows the idea to use a heuristic function to conservatively estimate the ...

  8. External memory graph traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../External_memory_graph_traversal

    Graph traversal is a subroutine in most graph algorithms. The goal of a graph traversal algorithm is to visit (and / or process) every node of a graph. Graph traversal algorithms, like breadth-first search and depth-first search, are analyzed using the von Neumann model, which assumes uniform memory access cost. This view neglects the fact ...

  9. Maze generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm

    First, the computer creates a random planar graph G shown in blue, and its dual F shown in yellow. Second, the computer traverses F using a chosen algorithm, such as a depth-first search, coloring the path red. During the traversal, whenever a red edge crosses over a blue edge, the blue edge is removed.
