A Algorithm

The A* algorithm is a best-first search algorithm that is widely used in pathfinding and graph traversal. It finds the shortest path between a starting node and a goal node. The A* uses two functions to evaluate the cost of a node: g(n) which is the cost from the starting node to the current node, and h(n) which is the estimated cost from the current node to the goal node. The heuristic function is defined as f(n)=g(n)+h(n) to find the lowest cost path. The A* algorithm is admissible and optimal if the heuristic function is admissible, meaning it never overestimates the actual cost to reach the goal.

Details on A* algorithm

A* Algorithm:-

In this every node has 2 functions: 1. g(n) -cost till the current node 2. h(n) -cost to go to goal node form current node It is a combination of branch and bound, best search along with dynamic. It uses a heuristic ON evaluation function denoted by f(s)

A* Algorithm
The heuristic function for a node is defined as The function g(n) is a measure of getting started from current node to the node n. The function h(n) is an estimate of the cost of going from current node to goal node. Admissibility of A* algorithm:-

A* algorithm is only admissible if for any graph it always terminates in an optimal path from start to goal if one exists.
