Abstract:Abstract:The cyclic best-first search (CBFS) strategy is a recent search strategy that has been successfully applied to branchand-bound algorithms in a number of different settings. CBFS is a modification of best-first search (BFS) that places search tree subproblems into contours which are collections of subproblems grouped in some way, and repeatedly cycles through all non-empty contours, selecting one subproblem to explore from each. In this article, the theoretical properties of CBFS are analyzed for the f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
