A Star: Fundamentals and Applications
About this ebook
Because of its completeness, optimality, and optimal efficiency, the A* method, which is employed for graph traversal and path search, is utilized in a variety of subfields within the discipline of computer science. Because it saves all of the created nodes in memory, its space complexity is a significant disadvantage in practical terms. Consequently, in practical travel-routing systems, it is often outperformed by algorithms that can pre-process the graph to achieve higher speed, as well as by approaches that are memory-bounded; despite this, A* is still the best answer in many different scenarios.
