Heuristic system:
The heuristic system considers all the immediate possible conditions that may lead to a solution for the problem. The system proceeds in the same manner until all the possible conditions are achieved. The heuristic system may require a large amount of work but ultimately it approaches towards a solution. The solution is one of the conditions achieved at the last. The conditions achieved at last may be in large numbers. It guarantees to have a solution among many conditions achieved in the end.
Best fit
To eliminate irrelevant moves, the tiles that are out of place should always be adjacent to the hole. The tiles that are already in place should not be moved. The best fit algorithm eliminates the moves having a higher cost, but only for proceeding moves. This algorithm does not consider the overall cost associated with a path.

- Given the following search tree, state the order in which the nodes will be searched for breadth first and depth first, until a solution B is reached.arrow_forwardlink(a,b). link(a,c). link(b,c). link(b,d). link(c,d). link(d,e). link(d,f). link(e,f). link(f,g). Using the above Formulate the appropriate Prolog predicate "path(X,Y,N)" which is true if (and only if) there is a path of length "N" from node "X" to node "Y". For example, there is a path of lengtharrow_forwardLet G be an undirected graph whose vertices are the integers 1 through 8, and let the adjacent vertices of each vertex be given by the table below: look at the picture sent Assume that, in a traversal of G, the adjacent vertices of a given vertex are returned in the same order as they are listed in the table above. Which statement of the following is correct? group of answer choices a) The sequence of vertices visited using a DFS traversal starting at vertex 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8. b) The sequence of vertices visited using a BFS traversal starting at vertex 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8. c) Both sequences are wrong. d) Both sequences are correct.arrow_forward
- Use breadth-first search starting at vertex S to construct a spanning tree of the graph below. If we tie-break alphabetically, what is the order of edges we construct our spanning tree? a. {S,T}, {S,V}, {S,W}, {T,X}, {V,Z}, {X,Y}, {U,Y} b. {S,V}, {S,T}, {S,W}, {V,Z}, {T,X}, {Y,Z}, {U,Y} c. {S,V}, {S,W}, {S,T}, {V,Z}, {T,X}, {Y,Z}, {U,Y} d. {S,T}, {S,W}, {S,V}, {T,X}, {V,Z}, {X,Y}, {U,Y}arrow_forwardShow the optimal binary search tree for the following words, where the frequency of occurrence is in parentheses: a (0.18), and (0.19), I (0.23), it (0.21), or (0.19).

- Note: Your solution should have O(n) time complexity, where n is the number of elements in l, and O(1) additional space complexity, since this is what you would be asked to accomplish in an interview. Given a linked list l, reverse its nodes k at a time and return the modified list. k is a positive integer that is less than or equal to the length of l. If the number of nodes in the linked list is not a multiple of k, then the nodes that are left out at the end should remain as-is. You may not alter the values in the nodes - only the nodes themselves can be changed.arrow_forwardA Binary Search Tree and an AVL are compared and contrasted. In your conversation, take operational efficiency into account.arrow_forwardExercise 6 Consider the search tree at the figure below. There are 2 goal states, G1 and G2. The numbers on the edges represent step-costs. You also know the following heuristic estimates: h(B->G2) = 9, h(D->G2)=10, h(A->G1)=2, h(C->G1)=1 In what order will A* search visit the nodes? Explain your answer by indicating the value of the evaluation function for those nodes that the algorithm considers.arrow_forward
- Consider the 8-puzzle problem. Trace out the A* algorithm given the initial and goal states below. You are supposed to show the generated search tree until the search generates the goal state. For each state show the value of the evaluation function f(n) = g(n) + h(n). Recall that g(n) gives the path cost from the initial state to node n. Moreover, for this problem the step cost is 1 for any action (moving the empty tile). As a heuristic let h(n) be the number of misplaced tiles. Hence f(initial-state) = 0 + 3 = 3. The # symbol denotes the empty tile.

What is the asymptotic complexity of your algorithm? ii) - Write an algorithm to find a maximum cost spanning tree, that is, the spanning tree with highest possible cost.arrow_forwardTHIS IS MY CODE HELP ME ACHIEVE POINTS OUTLINED BELOW : #include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <string.h>#include <float.h>#include "graph.h"#include "dijkstra.h" #define INFINITY DBL_MAX /* find shortest paths between source node id and all other nodes in graph. *//* upon success, returns an array containing a table of shortest paths. *//* return NULL if *graph is uninitialised or an error occurs. *//* each entry of the table array should be a Path *//* structure containing the path information for the shortest path between *//* the source node and every node in the graph.
