Heuristic Informed search

Heuristics are

criteria
Methods

Principles

for deciding which among

the several alternatives of

actions promises to be the

most effective in order to
achieve
goal
Heuristic function has
A heuristic function at nose

n is an estimate of the

optimum cost the current

node to
goal node
a

it is denoted ha

Greedy Best first search

It uses evaluation function ft

to select which node is to be

expanded

Mess with lowest evaluation

 cost is selected
for expansion
