Problem solving agents
• Form of goal-based agent that formulates the problem of reaching a goal in its environment, searches for a sequence of actions solving the problem, and executes it.
• Assumptions about the task environment: – fully observable
– deterministic
– single agent
• Offline (or open-loop) problem solving is suitable under those assumptions; the entire sequence solution can be executed “eyes closed.”
• Problem formulation
• Problem formulation examples • Tree search algorithm
• Uninformed search strategies • Informed search strategies
Example: Romania

Urziceni Bucharest
Example: Romania
• On holiday in Romania
– currently in Arad
– flight leaves tomorrow from Bucharest
• Formulate problem:
– initialstate:inArad
– goal:beinBucharest
– states:variouscities
– actions: drive between cities
• Search for a solution:
– sequence of drive actions or equivalently (in this case) sequence of cities, e.g. Arad,
Sibiu, Fagaras, Bucharest
Problem formulation
A problem is defined by four items:
• initial state: e.g., “at Arad”
• successor function: 𝑆(𝑥) = set of action–state pairs
e.g., 𝑆(𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑) = { 𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑍𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑, 𝑍𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑 , 𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑆𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑢, 𝑆𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑢 , 𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑎𝑟𝑎, 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑎𝑟𝑎 }
• goal test, can be
– explicit, e.g., if 𝑥 = “𝑎𝑡𝐵𝑢𝑐h𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡”
– implicit, e.g., if 𝐻𝑎𝑠𝐴𝑖𝑟𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡(𝑥) is True
• path cost (additive)
– e.g., sum of distances, number of actions executed, etc.
– 𝑐(𝑥,𝑎,𝑦) ≥ 0 is the step cost of going from state 𝑥 to state 𝑦 via action 𝑎.
• A solution is a sequence of actions leading from the initial state to a goal state
Example: Vacuum world
• states? dirt presence in each room and robot location (ignore dirt amounts) • actions? 𝐿𝑒𝑓𝑡, 𝑅𝑖𝑔h𝑡, 𝑆𝑢𝑐𝑘, 𝑁𝑜𝑂𝑝
• goal test? no dirt
• path cost? 1 per action (0 for 𝑁𝑜𝑂𝑝)
Example: The 8-puzzle
Start State Goal State
• states? Integer locations of tiles (ignore intermediate positions)
• actions? move blank left, right, up, down (ignore unjamming etc.) • goal test? goal state (given)
• path cost? 1 per move
[Note: optimal solution of 𝑛-Puzzle family is NP-hard]
Selecting a state space
• Real world is absurdly complex
⇒ state space must be abstracted for problem solving
• (Abstract) state = set of real states
• (Abstract) action = complex combination of real actions
– e.g., “𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑍𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑” represents a complex set of possible routes, detours, rest stops, etc.
– For guaranteed realizability, any real state “in Arad” must get to some real state in “in Zerind”.
• (Abstract) solution = set of real paths that are solutions in the real world
• Abstraction should be “easier” than the original problem!
Tree search example
Romania Map:
Explored Frontier Unseen nodes
Tree search algorithm
Basic idea:
• offline, simulated exploration of state space by generating successors of
already-explored nodes (a.k.a. expanding nodes)
Implementation: states vs. nodes
• A state is a (representation of) a physical configuration
• A node is a data structure constituting part of a search tree
– includes: state, parent, children, depth, path cost 𝒈(𝒏) • States do not have parents, children, depth, or path cost!
parent, action
55 4 Node 66 1 88
depth = 6 g=6
Implementation: Expand and Frontier
• The EXPAND function creates new nodes, filling in the various fields and using the SUCCESSORFN of the problem to create the corresponding states.
– Example: SUCCESSORFN(Arad) = { 𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑍𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑, 𝑍𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑 , 𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑆𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑢, 𝑆𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑢 , 𝐴𝑟𝑎𝑑 → 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑎𝑟𝑎, 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑎𝑟𝑎 }

• Frontier implemented as priority queue of nodes ordered according to strategy
Implementation: general tree search
Uniformed Search Strategies
Chapter 3, Section 4
Uninformed search strategies
• A strategy is defined by picking the order of node expansion.
• This is the order used for the priority queue implementing the frontier.
• Uninformed strategies use only the information available in the definition of the problem:
– Breadth-first search
– Uniform-cost search
– Depth-first search
– Depth-limited search
– Iterative deepening search
Breadth-first search
• Strategy: expand shallowest unexpanded node • Implementation:
– frontier is a FIFO queue, i.e., new successors go at end Depth
Evaluating Search Strategies
• Strategies are evaluated along the following dimensions:
– completeness – does it always find a solution if one exists?
– solution optimality – does it always find a least-cost solution? – time complexity – number of nodes generated (or expanded) – space complexity – maximum number of nodes in memory
DEFG Goal HILNO
Time and Space Complexity
• Time and space complexity are measured using big-O notation in terms of – 𝑏: maximum branching factor of the search tree
– 𝑑: depth of the shallowest solution
– 𝑚: maximum depth of the state space (may be ∞)

Properties of breadth-first search
• Complete? Yes (if 𝑏 and 𝑑 are finite) 23𝑑𝑑+1 𝑑+1
• Time? 1+𝑏+𝑏 +𝑏 +…+𝑏 +(𝑏 − 𝑏) = 𝑂(𝑏 ),i.e., exp. in 𝑑 𝑑+1
• Space? 𝑂 𝑏
• if 𝑏 and 𝑑 are finite 𝑏 = 10, 1 million node/sec, 1Kb/node, 𝑑 = 12 would
take 13 days and 1 petabyte of memory.
• Optimal? Yes if cost = 1 per step; not optimal in general

Example: Romania
Uniform-cost search
• Strategy: Expand least-cost unexpanded node
• Implementation:
– frontier = queue ordered by path cost (i.e., 𝑔(𝑛)), lowest first
• Equivalent to breadth-first if step costs all equal
• Complete? Yes, if step cost ≥ 𝜖 (for 𝜖 > 0). ∗ 1+ 𝐶∗/𝜖
𝑏: max. branching factor
𝑑: depth of the shallowest solution 𝑚: max. depth of the state space
• Time? # of nodes with 𝑔 ≤ 𝐶 ,𝑂(𝑏 )
where 𝐶∗ is the cost of the optimal solution
• Space? # of nodes with 𝑔 ≤ 𝐶 ,𝑂(𝑏 )
• Optimal? Yes—nodes expanded in increasing order of 𝑔(𝑛)
• Strategy: Expand deepest unexpanded node • Implementation:
– frontier = LIFOqueue,i.e.,putsuccessorsatfront
Depth-first search
L NO HILNO H I L N O
Properties of depth-first search
• Complete? No: fails in infinite-depth spaces, spaces with loops
⇒ complete in finite spaces if we modify to avoid repeated
states along path
• Time? O(bm): terrible if m is much larger than d
⇒ if solutions are dense, maybe much faster than breadth-first
• Space? O(bm), i.e., linear space! (deepest node + ancestors + their siblings)
• Optimal?

Breadth-first versus depth-first search
• Use breadth-first search when there exists short solutions. • Use depth-first search when there exists many solutions.
Eternity II Puzzle
2 million dollar prize! Few deep solutions
Iterative deepening search
• Combines advantages of breadth-first and depth-first search: – is complete
– returns shallowest solution
– use linear amount of memory
• Performs a series of depth limited depth-first searches
Depth-limited search
• Depth-first search with depth limit l, i.e., nodes at depth l have no successors • Recursive implementation:
• solution: solution found within depth limit • cutoff: no solution within the depth limit • failure: the problem has no solution

Numerical comparison for 𝑏 = 10 and 𝑑 = 5, solution at far-right leaf: Time: IDS doesn’t do much worse than BFS
𝑁(𝐵𝐹𝑆) = 1 + 10 + 100 + 1,000 + 10,000 + 100,000 = 111,111
𝑁(𝐼𝐷𝑆)=6+50+400+3,000+20,000+100,000=123,456

• Evaluation functions (use heuristics) • Greedy search
• A search
Review: Tree search
• The goal test is performed when the node is popped from the frontier,
NOT when it is generated during expansion.
– This is important when looking for optimal solutions.
• A strategy is defined by picking the order of node expansion
Evaluation function
• Evaluation function f (n) = g(n) + h(n)
– estimateof“desirability”,usuallyproblem-specific.
– g(n)=costsofartoreachn
– h(n) = estimated cost from n to the closest goal (heuristic) – f(n)=estimatedtotalcostofpaththroughntogoal
➢ The lower f (n), the more desirable n is • Implementation:
– frontier is a queue sorted in ascending value of f (n)
• Special cases:
– uniform cost search (uninformed): f (n) = g(n)
– greedy search (informed): f (n) = h(n)
start node
– A search (informed): f (n) = g(n) + h(n)
Greedy search
• Evaluation function f (n) = h(n) (entirely heuristic) = estimate of cost from n to the closest goal
• E.g., hSLD(n) = straight-line distance from n to Bucharest
• Greedy search expands the node that appears to be closest to goal

Properties of greedy search
• Complete? No. It can get stuck in loops, e.g., with going from Iasi to Fagaras: Iasi → Neamt → Iasi → Neamt →…
➢ Complete in finite space with repeated-state checking
• Time? O(bm), but a good heuristic can give dramatic improvement
• Space? O(bm) • Optimal? No

𝑏: max. branching factor
𝑑: depth of the shallowest solution 𝑚: max. depth of the state space
• Idea: avoid expanding paths that are already expensive • Evaluation function f (n) = g(n) + h(n)
– g(n) = cost so far to reach n
– h(n) = estimated cost from n to the closest goal
– f (n) = estimated total cost of path through n to goal
• Admissible heuristic:
– ∀n h(n) ≤ h∗(n) where h∗(n) is the true cost from n – Alsorequireh(n)≥0,soh(G)=0foranygoalG
• E.g., hSLD(n) never overestimates the actual road distance
• When h(n) is admissible, f (n) never overestimates the total cost of the optimal path through n to the goal
• Theorem: if h is admissible, A∗ search finds the optimal solution

f (n) = g(n) + h(n)

Optimality of A* (based on admissibility)
• Suppose some suboptimal goal G2 has been generated and is in the frontier. Let n be a frontier node on an optimal path to an optimal goal G1.
Arai start node Pitesti (f=417) n
Bucharest (f=418) G1 G2 Bucharest (f=450)
optimal goal node
suboptimal goal node
f (G2) = g(G2) > g(G1)
since G2 is a goal node, hence, h(G2) = 0
since G2 is suboptimal
since h is admissible: f (n) = g(n) + h(n) ≤ g(n) + h*(n) = g(G1)
• Since f (G2) > f (n), A*will never select G2 for expansion
