Explanation of Solution

a.

Illustration of iterative lengthening search algorithm is optimal for the general path costs:

  • Uniform cost just iteratively inspects the unexplored node nearest to the start node.
  • Iterative lengthening search is a uniform cost search that runs multiple times with a growing cost limit from start to finish.
  • The iterative lengthening search has not that much advantage as the iterative deepening search possesses.
  • The weakness of iterative lengthening search:
    • The algorithm simply searches the same node each time and adds more at the ends than the nearest first node and the next closest node are invariant...

Explanation of Solution

b.

Number of iterations required for iterative deepening:

  • The uniform cost search will run through the nodes in the same order as that of the first breadth search.
  • The search progression will go as follows,
    • Assume that the goal node is found halfway through the search operation of depth, on average.
    • Thus the goal iteration = “b+b2+...+bd/2

Explanation of Solution

c.

Number of iterations required in the worst case:

In the worst case, the limit begins at “0” and increments by a minimum positive cost “ε”, until it reaches the value “d”

Explanation of Solution

d.

Performance of algorithm compared to uniform cost search algorithm:

  • The algorithm requires only “k” uniform cost searches where iteration simply expands the boundary for the closest nodes inspected...

Suppose your computer is responding very slowly to information requests from the Internet. You observe that your network gateway shows high levels of network activity even though you have closed your e-mail client, Web browser, and all other programs that access the Internet. What types of malwares could cause such symptoms? What steps can you take to check whether malware has gained access to your system? What tools can you use at each step? If you identify malware, what ways might it have entered your system? How can you restore your PC to safe operation, including the special software tools you may use?
