Informed Search (Informed Search)

Description

Informed search tries to reduce the amount of search that must be done by making intelligent choices for the nodes that are selected for expansion.

Parameters

$b$: branching factor (the average number of successors per state)

$d$: the depth of the solution (the shortest path)

$n$: total number of nodes
