a.

Explanation of Solution

Reason:

  • Any path that may appear to be bad, but might lead to an arbitrarily large reward (negative cost)...

b.

Explanation of Solution

Effects of insisting that step costs should be greater than or equal to some negative constant:

  • If the greatest possible reward is assumed to be “c”.
  • Then if the maximum depth of the state space (e.g. when the state space is a tree) is also known, then any path with d levels r...

c.

Explanation of Solution

Justification:

  • In the given case, a set of actions is given that forms a loop in the state space such that executing the set in different order results in no net change to the state...

d.

Explanation of Solution

State-space search:

  • Value of a scenic loop is decreased each time it is revisited; a novel scenic sight is a great reward.
  • But seeing the same one for the tenth time in an hour is tedious and not rewarding...

e.

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?
