Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals: Search, Agents, and Logic

Heuristic Search Algorithms Explained

A* Search Algorithm (A-Star)

A* (A-Star) is an informed search algorithm that finds the shortest path from a start node to a goal node using heuristics. It combines the advantages of Uniform Cost Search and Greedy Best-First Search.

A* Formula

f(n) = g(n) + h(n)
  • g(n): Cost from the start node to the current node.
  • h(n): Estimated cost from the current node to the goal (heuristic).
  • f(n): Total estimated cost of the path through the current node.

Example of A* Search

Suppose
