- Hi, I apologize for this really stupid question but I have looked in
- Winston and a number of other books and cannot find the definition of
- an "Admissible Heuristic" as it relates to search algorithms like A*.
-
- If any one can give me a definition, I'd really appreciate it, i.e. what
- does and does not make a heuristic admissible. And if you know of a book
- where I can find this in, I'd like to know too.
-
- Thanks.
-
- Jason
