In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, rectangle search, that is instead based on beam search, a variant of breadth-first search.

Beam search is a popular satisficing approach to heuristic search problems that allows one to trade increased computation time for lower solution cost by increasing the beam width parameter.

There is broad consensus that this bound is not very accurate, that the actual suboptimality of wA*'s solution is often much less than W times optimal.

However, the quality of abstraction-based heuristic functions, and thus the speed of search, can suffer from spurious transitions, i. e., state transitions in the abstract state space for which no corresponding transitions in the reachable component of the original state space exist.

pairs, and present a new admissible front-to-end bidirectional heuristic search algorithm, Near-Optimal Bidirectional Search (NBS), that is guaranteed to do no more than 2VC expansions.

In this paper we show that, in addition to requiring the heuristic to be consistent, their formulas predictions are accurate only at levels of the brute-force search tree where the heuristic values obey the unconditional distribution that they defined and then used in their formula.
