Problema de 8 rompecabezas usando Branch And Bound

Presentamos Branch and Bound y discutimos el problema de la mochila 0/1 en las publicaciones a continuación. 

En este acertijo se discute la solución del problema de los 8 acertijos. 
Dado un tablero de 3×3 con 8 fichas (cada ficha tiene un número del 1 al 8) y un espacio vacío. El objetivo es colocar los números en los mosaicos para que coincidan con la configuración final utilizando el espacio vacío. Podemos deslizar cuatro fichas adyacentes (izquierda, derecha, arriba y abajo) en el espacio vacío. 

Por ejemplo, 

8puzzle

1. DFS (Fuerza bruta) 
Podemos realizar una búsqueda en profundidad en el árbol de espacio de estado (conjunto de todas las configuraciones de un problema dado, es decir, todos los estados que se pueden alcanzar desde el estado inicial).

Rompecabezas de árbol espacial estatal para 8

En esta solución, los movimientos sucesivos pueden alejarnos de la meta en lugar de acercarnos. La búsqueda del árbol de espacio de estado sigue el camino más a la izquierda desde la raíz, independientemente del estado inicial. Es posible que nunca se encuentre un Node de respuesta en este enfoque.

2. BFS (Brute-Force) 
Podemos realizar una búsqueda en amplitud en el árbol de espacio de estado. Esto siempre encuentra un estado objetivo más cercano a la raíz. Pero no importa cuál sea el estado inicial, el algoritmo intenta la misma secuencia de movimientos como DFS.

3. Rama y límite 
La búsqueda de un Node de respuesta a menudo se puede acelerar mediante el uso de una función de clasificación «inteligente», también llamada función de costo aproximado para evitar buscar en subárboles que no contienen un Node de respuesta. Es similar a la técnica de retroceso pero utiliza una búsqueda similar a BFS.

Básicamente, hay tres tipos de Nodes involucrados en Branch and Bound 
1. El Node en vivo es un Node que se ha generado pero cuyos hijos aún no se han generado. 
2. E-node es un Node vivo cuyos hijos se están explorando actualmente. En otras palabras, un Node E es un Node que se está expandiendo actualmente. 
3. El Node muerto es un Node generado que no debe expandirse ni explorarse más. Todos los hijos de un Node muerto ya se han expandido.

Función de costo: 
Cada Node X en el árbol de búsqueda está asociado a un costo. La función de costo es útil para determinar el próximo Node E. El siguiente E-Node es el que tiene el menor costo. La función de costo se define como 

   C(X) = g(X) + h(X) where
   g(X) = cost of reaching the current node 
          from the root
   h(X) = cost of reaching an answer node from X.

La función de costo ideal para un algoritmo de 8 rompecabezas: 
Suponemos que mover una ficha en cualquier dirección tendrá un costo de 1 unidad. Teniendo eso en cuenta, definimos una función de costo para el algoritmo de 8 rompecabezas de la siguiente manera: 

   c(x) = f(x) + h(x) where
   f(x) is the length of the path from root to x 
        (the number of moves so far) and
   h(x) is the number of non-blank tiles not in 
        their goal position (the number of mis-
        -placed tiles). There are at least h(x) 
        moves to transform state x to a goal state

Se dispone de un algoritmo para obtener una aproximación de h(x), que es un valor desconocido.

Algoritmo completo: 

/* Algorithm LCSearch uses c(x) to find an answer node
 * LCSearch uses Least() and Add() to maintain the list 
   of live nodes
 * Least() finds a live node with least c(x), deletes
   it from the list and returns it
 * Add(x) adds x to the list of live nodes
 * Implement list of live nodes as a min-heap */

struct list_node
{
   list_node *next;

   // Helps in tracing path when answer is found
   list_node *parent; 
   float cost;
} 

algorithm LCSearch(list_node *t)
{
   // Search t for an answer node
   // Input: Root node of tree t
   // Output: Path from answer node to root
   if (*t is an answer node)
   {
       print(*t);
       return;
   }
   
   E = t; // E-node

   Initialize the list of live nodes to be empty;
   while (true)
   {
      for each child x of E
      {
          if x is an answer node
          {
             print the path from x to t;
             return;
          }
          Add (x); // Add x to list of live nodes;
          x->parent = E; // Pointer for path to root
      }

      if there are no more live nodes
      {
         print ("No answer node");
         return;
      }
       
      // Find a live node with least estimated cost
      E = Least(); 

      // The found node is deleted from the list of 
      // live nodes
   }
}

El siguiente diagrama muestra el camino seguido por el algoritmo anterior para llegar a la configuración final a partir de la configuración inicial dada del 8-Puzzle. Tenga en cuenta que solo se expanden los Nodes que tienen el menor valor de la función de costo.
