Admissible heuristic:

A heuristic h(s) is admissible, if for every node n,

h(s) ≤ h*(s) is the true cost to reach the goal state from n

An admissible heuristic never over estimates the cost to reach the goal. That is optimistic.

Sensorless search problem defines by four items. That are given below,

  1. 1. Initial state
  2. 2. Description of action: successor function h(s) = set of action-state pairs
  3. 3. Goal test, can be
    • Explicit
    • Implicit
  4. 4 Path cost. It reflects the performance measure.

An admissible heuristic can be obtained by taking maximum of h*(s). Since any sequences of actions that solve all states would solve each state, this heuristic is admissible.

A* search algorithm:

  • The A* search algorithm is a search algorithm used to search a particular node of a graph.
  • A* algorithm is a variant of the best-first algorithm based on the use of heuristic methods to achieve optimality and completeness.
  • The algorithm A* is an example of a best-first search algorithm.
  • If a search algorithm has the property of optimality, it means that the best possible solution is guaranteed to be found. Here, the user wants the shortest path to the final state.

For this problem, we will explore the issue of truthfulness in the StableMatching Problem and specifically in the Gale-Shapley algorithm. Thebasic question is: Can a man or a woman end up better off by lying abouthis or her preferences? More concretely, we suppose each participant hasa true preference order. Now consider a woman w. Suppose w prefers manm to m, but both m and m are low on her list of preferences. Can it be thecase that by switching the order of m and m on her list of preferences (i.e.,by falsely claiming that she prefers m to m) and running the algorithmwith this false preference list, w will end up with a man m that she trulyprefers to both m and m? (We can ask the same question for men, butwill focus on the case of women for purposes of this question.)Resolve this question by doing one of the following two things: (a) Give a proof that, for any set of preference lists, switching theorder of a pair on the list cannot improve a woman’s partner in the GaleShapley…
If there exists a state such that h(s) which is less than the lowest cost path from s to the goal then, is h(s) consistent or not? is h(s) admissible or not? H- being the heurisitic
The Double SAT problem asks whether a given satisfiability problem has at least two different satisfying assignments. For example, the problem {{V1, V2}, {V1, V2}, {V1, V2}} is satisfiable, but has only one solution (v₁ = F, v₂ = T). In contrast, {{v₁, V2}, {V1, V2}} has exactly two solutions. Show that Double-SAT is NP-hard.
