Search: Everywhere
Planning

(a) which block to pick, (b) which to stack, (c) which to unstack, (d)
whether to stack a block or (e) whether to unstack an already stacked
block. These options have to be searched in order to arrive at the right
sequence of actions.

Vision

A search needs to be carried out to find which point in the image of L
corresponds to which point in R. Naively carried out, this can become
an O(n2) process where n is the number of points in the retinal
images.

Robot Path Planning

searching amongst the options of moving Left, Right, Up or Down.
Additionally, each movement has an associated cost representing the
relative difficulty of each movement. The search then will have to find
the optimal, i.e., the least cost path.

Natural Language Processing

search among many combinations of parts of speech on the way to
deciphering the meaning. This applies to every level of processingsyntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse.

Expert Systems
Search among rules, many of which can apply to a
situation:
If-conditions
the infection is primary-bacteremia
AND the site of the culture is one of the sterile sites
AND the suspected portal of entry is the gastrointestinal tract
THEN
there is suggestive evidence (0.7) that infection is bacteroid
(from MYCIN)
Search building blocks
State Space : Graph of states (Express constraints
and parameters of the problem)
 Operators : Transformations applied to the states.
 Start state : S (Search starts from here)
0
 Goal state : {G} - Search terminates here.
 Cost : Effort involved in using an operator.
 Optimal path : Least cost path

Tile movement represented as the movement of the blank space.
Operators:
L : Blank moves left
R : Blank moves right
U : Blank moves up
C(L) = C(R) = C(U) = C(D) = 1
D : Blank moves down
Problem 2: Missionaries and Cannibals

Missionaries
Missionaries
Cannibals
Cannibals
Constraints
 The boat can carry at most 2 people
 On no bank should the cannibals outnumber the missionaries
State : <#M, #C, P>
#M = Number of missionaries on bank L
#C = Number of cannibals on bank L
P = Position of the boat
S0 = <3, 3, L>
G = < 0, 0, R >
Operations
M2 = Two missionaries take boat
M1 = One missionary takes boat
C2 = Two cannibals take boat
C1 = One cannibal takes boat
MC = One missionary and one cannibal takes boat

signal(t)
t is a terminal ; signal
takes the value 0 or 1
Function–2
type(x)
x is a circuit element;
type(x) takes the value
AND, OR, NOT, XOR
Predicate – 3
connected(t1,t2)
t1 is an output terminal
and t2 is an input
terminal
Function-3
In(n,x)
nth input of ckt element x
Function-4
Out(x)
Output of ckt element x
Alternate Full Adder Circuit



type(X) : takes values AND, OR NOT and XOR, where X is
a gate.
in(n, X) : the value of signal at the nth input of gate X.
out(X) : output of gate X.
signal(t) : state at terminal t = 1/0
Predicates

connected
General Properties

Commutativity:
∀t1,t2 [connected(t1,t2) → connected(t2,t1)]

By definition of connection:
∀t1,t2 [connected(t1,t2) → { signal(t1) =
signal(t1)}]
