Tabular Diff Between Bfs Greedybfs Astar

Best First Search explores a graph by expanding the most promising node according to an evaluation function. It combines breadth-first and depth-first search. The evaluation function for Best First Search and A* is f(n)=g(n)+h(n), where g(n) is path distance and h(n) is the estimate to the goal. Best First Search and A* are complete algorithms but Best First Search may or may not give an optimal solution. Greedy Best First Search selects the path that appears best according to the evaluation function h(n), which is the estimate to the goal. It is not complete and may not give an optimal solution but is considered efficient. A* uses an admissible

It combines advantages of It is a variant of Best First Search It is the variant of Best First
Breadth-First search and Depth Algorithm. Search algorithm. A* combines
First Search the advantages of Best-first
Search and Uniform Cost Search:
ensure to find the optimized
path while increasing the
algorithm efficiency using
heuristics.

For BFS , evaluation function is For Greedy BFS the evaluation For A* evaluation function is
f(n)=g(n) + h(n) function is f(n)= g(n) + h(n)
Here g(n) : Path Distance f(n) = h(n) h component is the same
and h(n) : Estimate to Goal Here h(n) : Estimate to Goal heuristics applied as in Best-first
search but the g component is
the path from the initial state to
the particular state.

Best First Search is complete. Greedy BFS is not complete. That A* is also complete (unless there
is, there is always the risk of are infinitely many nodes to
taking a path that does not bring explore in the search space)
to the goal.

BFS may or may not give the Greedy BFS didn’t give an optimal The "star", often denoted by an
optimal Solution. solution. asterisk, *, refers to the fact that
BFS is More efficient when It is considered an efficient A* uses an admissible heuristic
compared to DFS. algorithm. function, which essentially
means that A* is optimal, that is,
it always finds the optimal path
between the starting node and
the goal node
