Completeness
"completeness"是search algorithm中一个非常重要的概念,维基百科Search algorithm中对它的解释是:
Unlike general metaheuristics, which at best work only in a probabilistic sense, many of these tree-search methods are guaranteed to find the exact or optimal solution, if given enough time. This is called "completeness".
它并没有给出准确的描述,"completeness"所链接到的是维基百科Completeness (logic),这篇文章是不易理解的。下面是一些分析:
What is meant by search algorithm completeness?
If an algorithm is complete, it means that if at least one solution exists then the algorithm is guaranteed find a solution in a finite amount of time.
