expands a vertex whose f-value is smaller than the f-value of a vertex that it has already expanded.

Artificial Intelligence A with consistent h-values guarantees that the sequence of f-values of the expanded vertices is monotonically non-decreasing. In other words, ƒ(s)≤ ƒ(s′)if A expands vertex s before vertex s′. Theta* does not have this property. Construct an example search problem where Theta expands a vertex whose f-value is smaller than the f-value of […]
