Q1. Solution

Given:

Consider the tree shown below. The numbers on the arcs are the arc lengths.

Assume that the nodes are expanded in alphabetical order when no other order is specified by the
search, and that the goal is state G. No visited or expanded lists are used. What order would the
states be expanded by each type of search? Stop when you expand G. Write only the sequence of
states expanded by each search.

Completed Table:

Search Type List of States

Breadth First ABCDEG

Depth First ABDFKLECG

Progressive Deepening Search AABCABDECG

Uniform Cost Search ABDECFG

Q2. Solution

Given:
Consider the graph shown below where the numbers on the links are link costs and the numbers next
to the states are heuristic estimates. Note that the arcs are undirected. Let A be the start state and G
be the goal state.

Simulate A* search with a

strict expanded list on this graph.
At each step, show the path
to the state of the node that’s
being expanded, the length
of that path, the total estimated cost of the path (actual + heuristic), and the current value of the
expanded list (as a list of states). You are welcome to use scratch paper or the back of the exam
pages to simulate the search. However, please transcribe (only) the information requested into the
table given below.

Completed Table

Path to State Expanded Length of Path Total Estimated Cost Expanded List
A 0 5 (A)

C–A 3 4 (C A)

B–A 1 5 (B C A)
(H B C A)
H–C–A 5 6

G–H–C–A 6 6 (G H B C A)

Consider the graph shown below. Note that the arcs are undirected. Let A be the start state and G be
the goal state.

Simulate uniform cost search with a strict expanded list on this graph. At each step, show the state of
the node that’s being expanded, the length of that path, and the current value of the expanded list
(as a list of states).

Completed Table

State Expanded Length of Path Expanded List

A 0 (A)
B 2 (B A)
C 4 (C B A)
G 6 (G C B A)
