A pattern database is a heuristic function stored as a lookup table which stores the lengths of optimal solutions for instances of subproblems. All previous pattern databases had ...

Pattern Databases were a major breakthrough in heuristic search by solving hard combinatorial problems various orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art techniques at that ...
The heuristics used for planning and search often take the pattern databases generated from abstracted versions of the given state space. Pattern databases are typically stored p ...
