Search algorithms aim to find solution or data with specific properties from a massive set of data. This book is packed with practical explanations of the search algorithms used in various computer systems. The book deals with the search algorithms applications than the search algorithms itself.
Introduction to Search Algorithms considers various aspects of search algorithms including an extensive overview of search algorithms and related terms. It includes introduction and the fundamentals of search algorithms, fundamentals of linear search algorithm, introduction to a* based best-first search algorithms. Provides the reader with insights into the development of its history, so as to understand the running particle swarm optimization on graphics processing, search via quantum walk.
