Chapter 4, Problem 1E

Give the name of the algorithm that results from each of the following special cases:

  1. a. Local beam search with k = 1.
  2. b. Local beam search with one initial state and no limit on the number of states retained.
  3. c. Simulated annealing with T = 0 at all times (and omitting the termination test).
  4. d. Simulated annealing with T = ∞ at all times.
  5. e. Genetic algorithm with population size N = 1.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

a.

The local beam search with “k=1” is hill-climbing search.

b.

  • Local beam search with one initial state and no limit on the number of states retained resembles with Breadth-First search.
  • In breadth first search, before adding the next layer it adds one complete layer nodes.
  • Starting from one state, the algorithm would be essentially identical to breadth-first search except that each layer is generated all at once.

c.

Simulated annealing with “T=0” at all time:

  • There is a fact that termination step would be triggered immediately. Ignoring this fact, the search would be identical to first choice hill climbing.
  • This is because; every downward successor would be rejected with probability 1.

d.

Simulated annealing with “T = ∞” at all times is a random-walk search, it always accepts a new state.

e.

Generic algorithm with population size “N=1”:

  • The two selected parents will be same individual, if the population size is “1”.
  • The crossover yields an exact copy of individuals. Here, the mutation chance occurs.
  • Thus, the algorithm executes a random walk in the space of individuals.

(Dynamic Programming.) Recall the problem presented in Assign- ment 3 where given a list L of n ordered integers you're tasked with removing m of them such that the distance between the closest two remaining integers is maxi- mized. See Assignment 1 for further clarification and examples. As it turns out there is no (known) greedy algorithm to solve this problem. However, there is a dynamic programming solution. Devise a dynamic programming solution which determines the maximum distance between the closest two points after removing m numbers. Note, it doesn't need to return the resulting list itself. Hint 1: Your sub-problems should be of the form S(i, j), where S(i, j) returns the maximum distance of the closest two numbers when only considering removing j of the first i numbers in L. As an example if L [3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15], then S(4, 1) = 2, since the closest two values of L' = [3,4,6,8] are 6 and 8 after removing 4 (note, 8-6 = = 2). = Hint 2: For the sub-problem S(i, j),…
