The article describes and analyzes NAMOA
*
, an algorithm for multiobjective heuristic graph search problems. The algorithm is presented as an extension of A
*
, an admissible scalar shortest path algorithm. Under consistent heuristics A
*
is known to improve its efficiency with more informed heuristics, and to be optimal over the class of admissible algorithms in terms of the set of expanded nodes and the number of node expansions. Equivalent beneficial properties are shown to prevail in the new algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
