Prune and search is a method of solving optimization problems suggested by Nimrod Megiddo in 1983. The basic idea of the method is a recursive procedure...

the fewer states are pruned. With an infinite beam width, no states are pruned and beam search is identical to best-first search. Conversely, a beam width...
