Practice Test Questions: Prove each of the following statements, or give a counterexample: Best-first search is optimal in the case where we have a perfect heuristic (i.e., h(n) = h∗(n), the true cost to the closest goal state). Suppose there is a unique optimal solution. Then, A* search with a perfect heuristic will never expand nodes that are not in the path of the optimal solution. A* search with a heuristic which is admissible but not consistent is complete.

Practice Test Questions:

Prove each of the following statements, or give a counterexample:

  1. Best-first search is optimal in the case where we have a perfect heuristic (i.e., h(n) = h∗(n), the true cost to the closest goal state).
  2. Suppose there is a unique optimal solution. Then, A* search with a perfect heuristic will never expand nodes that are not in the path of the optimal solution.
  3. A* search with a heuristic which is admissible but not consistent is complete.
Expert Solution
Step 1: Overviews
