Best-first Search - Greedy BFS

Greedy BFS

Using a greedy algorithm, expand the first successor of the parent. After a successor is generated:

  1. If the successor's heuristic is better than its parent, the successor is set at the front of the queue (with the parent reinserted directly behind it), and the loop restarts.
  2. Else, the successor is inserted into the queue (in a location determined by its heuristic value). The procedure will evaluate the remaining successors (if any) of the parent.
