Python – A Beam Search in Graph

In our previous article, we explored the A* (A-Star) Algorithm. It is the gold standard for pathfinding as it is optimal – it always finds the shortest path. But in the real world (chess engines, LLM) it might be too…Read more ›

Python – A Star Search in Graph

A* is probably my favourite graph search algorithm. Some 10+ years ago, I have implmented it with Excel and after that I have written a few more implementations. Just, not to repeat myself, I will not discuss it here. The reason…Read more ›

Dijkstra’s Graph Algorithm with Python

In the previous articles, we have presented graphs with BFS and DFS. The BFS is actually good to find the path with the fewest nodes. But if the path with the fewest nodes is actually the most expensive, then we…Read more ›

BFS, DFS, A-Star – these sound like magic spells from a Harry Potter book! And actually, these are magical (especially the A-Star) as far as they are well-defined algorithms, that explore a graph. In our previous article, we have explored…Read more ...
