Part 1 – Introduction

Typically A* (Astar) is used in a grid-based pathfinding problem. However, as a general rule, any pathfinding algorithm (A* included) can be used to solve any graph-based problem. For a very detailed understanding of path-finding, I suggest the brilliant tutorial maintained by Amit on Stanford’s site . In this tutorial, I will not go through the theory of A* pathfinding, but rather, I would implement all necessary functions for A* pathfinding to solve the 8 puzzle problem.

The 8 Puzzle Problem

The 8-puzzle, introduced and popularised by Noyes Palmer Chapman in the 1870s, is a scaled-down version of the more famous 15-puzzle, featuring a 3-by-3 grid with eight numbered square blocks and one empty square.

The aim of the puzzle is to rearrange the blocks into a specific sequence, typically with the empty square positioned either at the start or end of the sequence. Blocks can be moved horizontally or vertically into the empty square to achieve the desired arrangement.

The A* pathfinding algorithm is commonly used for grid-based pathfinding tasks. However, in general, any pathfinding algorithm, including A*, can be applied to solve graph-based problems. In this tutorial, we will utilise the A* pathfinding algorithm to solve the 8-puzzle.

Before we can solve the 8 puzzle problem, we will need to model the problem. But what do we mean by “Modelling the Problem”?

In general terms, modelling a problem is the process of formulating the problem using precisely defined, well-understood components and logic to reach a solution. In computer science, proper modelling is essential for applying algorithmic design techniques to any real-world problem.

You might be working on a system that simulates air traffic in and around an airport, optimising the dispatch of delivery vans for an e-commerce application, or searching for patterns in a large image dataset. To solve such problems, you will use modelling techniques to represent the problem using rigorously defined abstract structures such as graphs, trees, permutations, sets, and so on.

For our 8 puzzle problem, let’s see how we can model the problem. Let’s take a random state of the 8 puzzle problem as shown in the diagram below. We can either slide tile 5 down, slide 4 right, or slide 2 left to create three variant states from this random state.

These three states will produce subsequent more states (2 for the first, 2 for the second and 2 for the third). This continues until we find the goal state.

We can see that we can transform the various possible states of the 8 puzzle problem into a tree data structure.

The 8 Puzzle Solution Search Space

The 8-puzzle represents the largest possible N-puzzle that can be completely solved. While it is straightforward, it presents a substantial problem space. Larger variants like the 15-puzzle exist but cannot be entirely solved. This complexity classifies the N by N extension of the 8-puzzle as an “N-P” hard problem.

The 8-puzzle encompasses 9 factorial possible tile permutation states. Among these states, every second permutation is solvable. Therefore, there are a total of 9 factorial divided by 2 (9!/2), which is 181,440 solvable problem states.

Alexander Reinefeld from the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing , Germany, demonstrated that the average length of all optimal solution paths is approximately 22 moves for any random configuration. Across the 181,440 solvable configurations, there are a total of 500,880 optimal solutions, providing an average solution density of 2.76 solutions per problem, with the range of solutions varying from 1 to 64.

The difficulty in solving the puzzle involves building the potential search tree and determining the most efficient path from the initial state to the goal state. To identify the optimal path, we employ Heuristic Search.

Heuristic Search

Heuristic search is a method used to solve search problems more quickly than traditional methods. It often provides an approximate solution when conventional methods cannot, offering a generalised and approximate approach to problem-solving.

In simple terms, a heuristic search can be likened to a rule of thumb or common-sense knowledge. While the answer isn’t guaranteed to be accurate, it aids in swift decision-making, sacrificing optimality, completeness, accuracy, or precision for speed.

Heuristic searches commonly involve heuristic values.

A heuristic value assigned to a node within the construction graph aims to capture the significance of that node’s value, such as cost or gain. Heuristic search, a form of informed search, utilises this heuristic value to optimise the search.

During each branching step, the search evaluates the heuristic value and selects which branch to pursue by ranking alternatives.

There are various types of heuristic search algorithms, with one notable example being the A-star search algorithm.

The A* Search

A* search is a computer search algorithm that is widely used for pathfinding and graph traversal. In our case of the 8 puzzle problem, we will be using it for optimal graph traversal. A* works by keeping track of all visited nodes and ignoring them for further traversal. At the same time, it also keeps track of all the nodes that are yet to be explored and chooses one with the least cost to be further explored.

This simple mechanism allows us to find the most optimal tree branch that will lead us from the start state to the end state.

The Heuristic Value (Cost Function) of an 8 Puzzle State

The heuristic value of an 8 puzzle state is a combination of two values. It is often called the cost function f .

h gives how far the goal node is and g the number of nodes traversed from the start node to the current node. For h, we will use the Manhattan distance, and for g, we will use the depth of the current node.

For our A* search, we will use the sum of Manhattan distance and the current depth of the node as the total cost.

Manhattan distance

The Manhattan distance heuristic is used for its simplicity and ability to estimate the number of moves required to bring a given puzzle state to the solution state. Manhattan distance is computed by the sum of the distances of each tile from where it should belong.

For example, the Manhattan distance between “213540678” and “123456780” is 9 and between “647850321” and “123456780” is 21.

The diagram below shows the Manhattan cost for a specific tiles configuration.

Software Design for Solving 8 Puzzle Problem

In the following section, I will start creating the building blocks for the puzzle solution and finally try to join them to reach the solution.

To solve the 8-puzzle problem, we need a data structure to represent the puzzle’s tiles, which we will refer to as the puzzle’s “state.” Each state represents a unique combination of tiles, and throughout our solving process, we will need to manage potentially hundreds or thousands of these states. Each distinct tile arrangement in the puzzle corresponds to a node within a tree data structure.

To represent these states, we will use an integer array whose indices correspond to specific tile positions. The values stored at these indices represent the tile numbers. In this one-dimensional array representation, each index is fixed and represents a predefined tile location. This precise representation is crucial for our problem-solving process. 

For example, index 0 corresponds to the top-left tile, index 1 to the top-center tile, and so on up to index 8 for the bottom-right tile. The value stored at each index indicates the actual tile number present in that location. 

For instance, in a given state, as seen here, index 0 holds the value 2, index 1 holds 3, and index 8 holds 7, indicating the tile numbers in those respective positions. Index 4 holds the empty tile.

By manipulating the values in this array representation, while adhering to the constraint of where the empty tile can move with each action, we can efficiently progress towards reaching the goal state of the puzzle. This approach allows us to efficiently track and navigate through the various configurations of the puzzle during the solving process, making our solution approach highly effective.

Our next objective is to construct the graph of neighbours for the 8-puzzle problem. This involves determining possible moves, or neighbour indices, for each of the 9 tile indices.

For example, starting with tile index 0, the neighbouring indices, where the empty tile can move, are indices 1 and 3.

Similarly, for tile index 1, the neighbours are indices 0, 2, and 4, and so on.

We will summarise this relationship in a list of neighbour indices for each tile index.

Looking at the above list, we can now access the neighbours for any tile index. For example, for tile index 6, the neighbours are tile indices 7 and 3.

For the first figure below, we have our empty tile in index 4. So for index 4, the neighbours are index 1, 3, 5 and 8. Please note that I am referring to the index of the array and not the actual value of that element in that index of the array.

With this mapping in place, we can then easily determine the neighbours for any tile index. For instance, for tile index 6, the neighbours are tile indices 7 and 3. It’s important to note that these indices refer to positions within the array representation of the puzzle state, not the actual values stored in those array elements.

Node (or the State Tree)

The state tree is the actual tree that comprises all the valid transitions from one state to another state, ultimately reaching the final goal (if the solution exists).

In computer science, a tree is a widely used abstract data type (ADT)—or data structure implementing this ADT—that simulates a hierarchical tree structure, with a root value and subtrees of children with a parent node, represented as a set of linked nodes – source Wikipedia .

Each tree element we call Node will comprise one specific tile for an 8 puzzle for this problem.

Solver for 8 Puzzle

Finally, we look at the Solver framework. The Solver should be able to solve the puzzle based on the A* algorithm. The solver will be implemented simply as a main console function in C++ and a Coroutine in the Unity C# version. The solver class will construct the tree, visit the next best node and collect nodes for the solution until the solution is finally found.

The Eight Puzzle Problem

Recursion algorithms: backtracking and recursion - the eight puzzle problem.

Recursion is a powerful technique used in programming for solving complex problems by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable subproblems. In this tutorial, we will explore the fascinating world of recursion algorithms, with a specific focus on backtracking and recursion in relation to the Eight Puzzle Problem.

Understanding Recursion and Backtracking

Recursion is a process where a function calls itself directly or indirectly. It involves breaking down a problem into smaller subproblems of the same type, solving each subproblem independently, and then combining the solutions to obtain the final solution.

Backtracking, on the other hand, is a specific technique used in recursion algorithms to efficiently explore all possible solutions by trying out different options and undoing (backtracking) whenever we reach an undesirable state.

The Eight Puzzle, also known as the sliding tile puzzle, is a classic problem that involves a 3x3 grid with eight numbered tiles and an empty cell. The goal is to rearrange the tiles to reach a desired configuration, typically ordered from 1 to 8, with the empty cell in a specific position.

To solve the Eight Puzzle Problem using recursion and backtracking, we can represent the problem state as a matrix and apply a depth-first search algorithm.

Let's take a look at a simple implementation of the Eight Puzzle Problem using Python:

In the above code snippet, we define a class EightPuzzle that represents the problem. It has various methods such as solve , get_neighbors , is_goal_state , print_solution , and run to perform the necessary operations.

Implementing the Solver

To solve the Eight Puzzle Problem, we need to implement the solving logic within the solve method. This is where we apply backtracking and recursion to explore all possible states until we reach the goal state.

Here's a high-level overview of the solving logic:

Check if the initial state is already the goal state. If so, we can terminate the recursion and print the solution.

If the initial state is not the goal state, generate all possible neighboring states using the get_neighbors method.

Iterate through each neighboring state and recursively call the solve method with the new state as the input.

If the solving logic returns True , it means the goal state has been reached. We can terminate the recursion and print the solution.

If none of the neighboring states lead to the goal state, we perform backtracking by undoing the last move and exploring the next neighbor.

By implementing this recursive backtracking approach, we can efficiently solve the Eight Puzzle Problem and find the optimal path to reach the desired configuration.

Handling Constraints and Optimizations

When implementing recursion algorithms, it's essential to consider constraints and optimize the code for better performance.

For example, in the case of the Eight Puzzle Problem, we can incorporate heuristics like the Manhattan distance to prioritize exploring states that are more likely to lead to the goal state. This helps reduce the number of unnecessary recursive calls, improving the overall efficiency of the solution.

Recursion and backtracking provide a powerful approach to solving complex problems like the Eight Puzzle Problem. By breaking down the problem into smaller subproblems and efficiently exploring all possible solutions, we can find optimal solutions and gain a deeper understanding of these fundamental programming concepts.

In this tutorial, we explored the basics of recursion and backtracking, and implemented a simple solver for the Eight Puzzle Problem. Leveraging code snippets, examples, and high-level explanations, we aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of these concepts for programmers.

Now it's your turn to take this knowledge and apply it to solve other challenging problems using the power of recursion and backtracking!

What can be the efficient approach to solve the 8 puzzle problem?

The 8-puzzle is a square board with 9 positions, filled by 8 numbered tiles and one gap. At any point, a tile adjacent to the gap can be moved into the gap, creating a new gap position. In other words the gap can be swapped with an adjacent (horizontally and vertically) tile. The objective in the game is to begin with an arbitrary configuration of tiles, and move them so as to get the numbered tiles arranged in ascending order either running around the perimeter of the board or ordered from left to right, with 1 in the top left-hand position.

I was wondering what approach will be efficient to solve this problem?

• sliding-tile-puzzle

• I'm not convinced that there is always a solution. Supposedly Erno Rubik (inventor of the Rubik’s cube) sold a 15-puzzle (4x4 grid) with the numbers 1 – 15, with numbers 14 and 15 swapped . He offered a substantial reward for those who could solve it. He, of course, knew it was impossible. –  Eric Commented Sep 8, 2009 at 18:37
• 4 Are you reading thedailywtf.com/Articles/Sliding-Around.aspx by any chance? –  Esteban Küber Commented Sep 8, 2009 at 18:41
• @Eric - Well, yes, it may be impossible if numbers were randomly pulled out and placed back in because it's moving in a way not possible in the solution. But, if the numbers were in order and then just mixed up (AKA, shifted around), then it is possible to "work backward" to solve the problem. I'm assuming this is a safe assumption to make here. I am curious, too, if there's an efficient solution. –  JasCav Commented Sep 8, 2009 at 18:41
• 4 Exactly half of all possible configurations have a solution. In effect, you can calculate a parity value that produces a zero or one for all configurations and simultaneously is preserved by all legal changes to the game board; half of all configurations have each parity value, and therefore configurations in one half cannot be changed to reach configurations in the other half. I don't have time to look up the details right now, though. You can always change between the two parity values by swapping two non-blank cells. –  jprete Commented Sep 8, 2009 at 20:50
• 2 @eric legend has it that when sam loyd went to patent the 15 puzzle, the patent officer asked if it was solvable. when loyd admitted it was not, the officer said that in that case there could be no "working model", and hence no patent. –  Martin DeMello Commented Sep 10, 2009 at 15:15

I will just attempt to rewrite the previous answer with more details on why it is optimal.

The A* algorithm taken directly from wikipedia is

So let me fill in all the details here.

heuristic_estimate_of_distance is the function Σ d(x i ) where d(.) is the Manhattan distance of each square x i from its goal state.

So the setup

would have a heuristic_estimate_of_distance of 1+2+1=4 since each of 8,5 are one away from their goal position with d(.)=1 and 7 is 2 away from its goal state with d(7)=2.

The set of nodes that the A* searches over is defined to be the starting position followed by all possible legal positions. That is lets say the starting position x is as above:

then the function neighbor_nodes(x) produces the 2 possible legal moves:

The function dist_between(x,y) is defined as the number of square moves that took place to transition from state x to y . This is mostly going to be equal to 1 in A* always for the purposes of your algorithm.

closedset and openset are both specific to the A* algorithm and can be implemented using standard data structures (priority queues I believe.) came_from is a data structure used to reconstruct the solution found using the function reconstruct_path who's details can be found on wikipedia. If you do not wish to remember the solution you do not need to implement this.

Last, I will address the issue of optimality. Consider the excerpt from the A* wikipedia article:

"If the heuristic function h is admissible, meaning that it never overestimates the actual minimal cost of reaching the goal, then A* is itself admissible (or optimal) if we do not use a closed set. If a closed set is used, then h must also be monotonic (or consistent) for A* to be optimal. This means that for any pair of adjacent nodes x and y, where d(x,y) denotes the length of the edge between them, we must have: h(x) <= d(x,y) +h(y)"

So it suffices to show that our heuristic is admissible and monotonic. For the former (admissibility), note that given any configuration our heuristic (sum of all distances) estimates that each square is not constrained by only legal moves and can move freely towards its goal position, which is clearly an optimistic estimate, hence our heuristic is admissible (or it never over-estimates since reaching a goal position will always take at least as many moves as the heuristic estimates.)

The monotonicity requirement stated in words is: "The heuristic cost (estimated distance to goal state) of any node must be less than or equal to the cost of transitioning to any adjacent node plus the heuristic cost of that node."

It is mainly to prevent the possibility of negative cycles, where transitioning to an unrelated node may decrease the distance to the goal node more than the cost of actually making the transition, suggesting a poor heuristic.

To show monotonicity its pretty simple in our case. Any adjacent nodes x,y have d(x,y)=1 by our definition of d. Thus we need to show

h(x) <= h(y) + 1

which is equivalent to

h(x) - h(y) <= 1

Σ d(x i ) - Σ d(y i ) <= 1

Σ d(x i ) - d(y i ) <= 1

We know by our definition of neighbor_nodes(x) that two neighbour nodes x,y can have at most the position of one square differing, meaning that in our sums the term

d(x i ) - d(y i ) = 0

for all but 1 value of i. Lets say without loss of generality this is true of i=k. Furthermore, we know that for i=k, the node has moved at most one place, so its distance to a goal state must be at most one more than in the previous state thus:

Σ d(x i ) - d(y i ) = d(x k ) - d(y k ) <= 1

showing monotonicity. This shows what needed to be showed, thus proving this algorithm will be optimal (in a big-O notation or asymptotic kind of way.)

Note, that I have shown optimality in terms of big-O notation but there is still lots of room to play in terms of tweaking the heuristic. You can add additional twists to it so that it is a closer estimate of the actual distance to the goal state, however you have to make sure that the heuristic is always an underestimate otherwise you loose optimality!

EDIT MANY MOONS LATER

Reading this over again (much) later, I realized the way I wrote it sort of confounds the meaning of optimality of this algorithm.

There are two distinct meanings of optimality I was trying to get at here:

1) The algorithm produces an optimal solution, that is the best possible solution given the objective criteria.

2) The algorithm expands the least number of state nodes of all possible algorithms using the same heuristic.

The simplest way to understand why you need admissibility and monotonicity of the heuristic to obtain 1) is to view A* as an application of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm on a graph where the edge weights are given by the node distance traveled thus far plus the heuristic distance. Without these two properties, we would have negative edges in the graph, thereby negative cycles would be possible and Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm would no longer return the correct answer! (Construct a simple example of this to convince yourself.)

2) is actually quite confusing to understand. To fully understand the meaning of this, there are a lot of quantifiers on this statement, such as when talking about other algorithms, one refers to similar algorithms as A* that expand nodes and search without a-priori information (other than the heuristic.) Obviously, one can construct a trivial counter-example otherwise, such as an oracle or genie that tells you the answer at every step of the way. To understand this statement in depth I highly suggest reading the last paragraph in the History section on Wikipedia as well as looking into all the citations and footnotes in that carefully stated sentence.

I hope this clears up any remaining confusion among would-be readers.

• I should add that A* is really only optimal if you have no specialized knowledge to take into account to solve your actual problem. It's still exponentially bounded in runtime and space which is pretty aweful, but for small problems it works. –  ldog Commented Apr 27, 2015 at 22:03

You can use the heuristic that is based on the positions of the numbers, that is the higher the overall sum of all the distances of each letter from its goal state is, the higher the heuristic value. Then you can implement A* search which can be proved to be the optimal search in terms of time and space complexity (provided the heuristic is monotonic and admissible.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm

• Yup, A* is much more suitable for this problem than IDDFS. IDDFS is about as fast as A* without any heuristic. But even the most simple heuristics improve the algorithm a lot. –  Accipitridae Commented Sep 9, 2009 at 3:19
• @Accipitridae, IDDFS is not as fast as A* without any heuristic. It visits most nodes more than once whereas A* without heuristic only still visits nodes once and once only. –  leiz Commented Sep 9, 2009 at 9:32
• 4 The way this answer is worded gives a strong impression that it produces the best answer in the best possible way. But it doesn't even attempt to make any kind of argument that the heuristic is suitable. –  Jason Orendorff Commented Jan 31, 2010 at 14:11
• Sum of the distances is good enough heuristics. Even better one would take into account the observation that numbers that are adjacent in final solution should be coupled together as the game progress (with empty square behaving as if all adjacent to it are adjacent to each other). And all other things being equal the empty square should stay out of the edge during search. –  Dialecticus Commented Sep 26, 2010 at 23:01
• 2 @ Jason Orendorff: that's because this does produce the best possible answer in terms of big-O notation (asymptotic behavior.) You can go ahead and experiment with heuristics that would further reduce the run time (by constant factors) but it remains that you will not be able to produce a better asymptotic time. –  ldog Commented Sep 27, 2010 at 3:28

Since the OP cannot post a picture, this is what he's talking about:

As far as solving this puzzle, goes, take a look at the iterative deepening depth-first search algorithm, as made relevant to the 8-puzzle problem by this page .

Donut's got it! IDDFS will do the trick, considering the relatively limited search space of this puzzle. It would be efficient hence respond to the OP's question. It would find the optimal solution, but not necessarily in optimal complexity.

Implementing IDDFS would be the more complicated part of this problem, I just want to suggest an simple approach to managing the board, the games rules etc. This in particular addresses a way to obtain initial states for the puzzle which are solvable. An hinted in the notes of the question, not all random assignemts of 9 tites (considering the empty slot a special tile), will yield a solvable puzzle. It is a matter of mathematical parity... So, here's a suggestions to model the game:

Make the list of all 3x3 permutation matrices which represent valid "moves" of the game. Such list is a subset of 3x3s w/ all zeros and two ones. Each matrix gets an ID which will be quite convenient to keep track of the moves, in the IDDFS search tree. An alternative to matrices, is to have two-tuples of the tile position numbers to swap, this may lead to faster implementation.

Such matrices can be used to create the initial puzzle state, starting with the "win" state, and running a arbitrary number of permutations selected at random. In addition to ensuring that the initial state is solvable this approach also provides a indicative number of moves with which a given puzzle can be solved.

Now let's just implement the IDDFS algo and [joke]return the assignement for an A+[/joke]...

• Was the [joke] a subtle pun on A*? Haha :) –  ldog Commented Oct 10, 2014 at 21:26

This is an example of the classical shortest path algorithm. You can read more about shortest path here and here .

In short, think of all possible states of the puzzle as of vertices in some graph. With each move you change states - so, each valid move represents an edge of the graph. Since moves don't have any cost, you may think of the cost of each move being 1. The following c++-like pseudo-code will work for this problem:

8 puzzle Problem using Branch and Bound in C

8-puzzle Problem is a classic sliding puzzle that consists of a 3×3 board with 8 numbered tiles and one blank space. The goal is to rearrange the tiles to match a target configuration by sliding the tiles into the blank space. The movement can be in four directions: left, right, up, and down.

In this article, we will learn how to solve this using Branch and Bound in C language.

For Example,

Steps to Solve 8 Puzzle Problem Using Branch and Bound in C

When implementing the 8-puzzle problem using Branch and Bound in C, we need to perform a custom implementation using arrays or linked lists since C does not have built-in priority queue support like C++.

First, create a Node structure to represent each state in the puzzle. Include fields for the puzzle matrix, coordinates of the blank space, cost (misplaced tiles), level (depth in the search tree), and parent node reference. Implement newNode to create a new puzzle state node. Copy the matrix, simulate tile movement, and set initial values for cost, level, and parent. Implement calculateCost to count the number of tiles not in their goal positions between the initial and final puzzle configurations. Implement isSafe to verify if a move (up, down, left, right) stays within puzzle boundaries. mplement printPath to recursively print the path from the initial state to the goal state once found. Implement Comparison Function comp for Priority Queue comp to prioritize nodes in the priority queue (pq) based on cost + level for efficient exploration. Main Function (solve): Initialize a priority queue (pq) to manage live nodes. Create the initial node, calculate its cost, and add it to pq. Use a loop to process nodes until the solution is found or all possibilities are exhausted: Sort pq to retrieve the node with the lowest estimated cost. If the node is a goal state (cost is zero), print the path using printPath and exit. Generate child nodes for valid moves, calculate their costs, and add them to pq. In main : Define the initial and final puzzle configurations. Specify the coordinates of the blank space. Call solve with these parameters to find and print the solution path.

Solving the 8-Puzzle Problem in Artificial Intelligence with Python Code: A Step-by-Step Guide

The 8-puzzle problem is a popular puzzle game that has intrigued puzzle enthusiasts for decades. It requires players to move tiles on a board to create a desired final configuration.

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), the 8-puzzle problem serves as a benchmark for testing search algorithms. It is a classic example of a search problem, where the goal is to find the optimal solution path that minimizes the number of moves required to reach the desired state.

Introduction

The 8-puzzle problem is a classic example of a search problem that is commonly used to demonstrate the efficiency of search algorithms in artificial intelligence. The goal of the puzzle is to rearrange the tiles on an 8×8 grid to fit a specific configuration.

In this article, we will explore the 8-puzzle problem and show how it can be solved using Python code. We will also discuss some of the search algorithms commonly used to solve this problem, including the Breadth First search, Depth First search and A* search.

The 8-Puzzle Problem

The 8-puzzle problem is a game that consists of 9 squares on a 3×3 grid. Each square contains a number from 1 to 8, arranged in random order. The goal of the game is to arrange the squares in numerical order from left to right, top to bottom, with the empty square in the bottom-right corner.

Figure 1 shows an example of an 8-puzzle game.

There are 9! (362,880) possible configurations of the puzzle, but only half of them are solvable. A configuration is considered solvable if it can be transformed into the goal configuration by sliding tiles one at a time into the empty space, where the empty space is initially in the bottom-right corner.

Solving the 8-Puzzle Problem with Python Code

In this section, We will discuss how to solve the 8-puzzle problem using Python code. We will implement three search algorithms: Breadth First search, Depth First search and A* search.

Breadth First Search

Breadth First search is a search algorithm that explores all possible paths, starting from the initial state, and expands the shallowest node first. It guarantees finding the optimal solution, but is generally slower than other search algorithms.

In the case of the 8-puzzle problem, the state space consists of all possible configurations of the puzzle. We can represent each configuration as a tuple, where each element of the tuple represents the value of each square on the board.

Figure 2 shows the pseudocode for Breadth First search algorithm.

Using this algorithm, we can solve the 8-puzzle problem and find the optimal solution. However, it may take a lot of time and resources to solve larger problems.

Depth First Search

Depth First search is a search algorithm that explores paths as far as possible before backtracking. It searches deeper and deeper until it finds a solution or runs out of memory. Depth First search does not guarantee finding the optimal solution, but is generally faster than Breadth First search.

In the case of the 8-puzzle problem, the Depth First search algorithm can be implemented using a stack to keep track of nodes to be expanded. We can start by pushing the initial state onto the stack, then pop the state from the top and expand its children one by one, pushing them onto the stack. We continue this process until we reach the goal state or empty the stack.

Figure 3 shows the pseudocode for Depth First search algorithm.

Using this algorithm, we can solve the 8-puzzle problem, but it may not find the optimal solution. It is suitable for problems with very large state spaces, where the optimal solution is not necessarily the goal.

A* search is a search algorithm that combines the Breadth First search and Depth First search strategies. It uses a heuristic function to evaluate the cost of each node in the search space, and expands the node with the lowest evaluation function value.

The heuristic function estimates the minimum cost of reaching the goal state from the current state. In the case of the 8-puzzle problem, a common heuristic function is the Manhattan distance, which calculates the sum of the horizontal and vertical distances between the current position of each tile and its goal position on the board.

Figure 4 shows the pseudocode for A* search algorithm.

Using this algorithm, we can solve the 8-puzzle problem and find the optimal solution in the shortest time possible. It works well for problems with relatively small state spaces, where the optimal solution is required.

In this article, we explored the 8-puzzle problem and showed how it can be solved using Python code. We discussed three search algorithms commonly used to solve this problem: Breadth First search, Depth First search and A* search. We also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm, and when to use them.

The 8-puzzle problem is a classic example of a search problem in artificial intelligence, and serves as a benchmark for testing search algorithms. With the help of Python code, we can solve the problem and find the optimal solution efficiently.

Informed Search Heuristics

Informed Search Heuristics play a pivotal role in the domain of artificial intelligence. Heuristics are techniques that guide the search process towards more promising regions, thus reducing the search time. They are based on information (hence “informed”) that is available a priori and can provide an estimate to the solution from any given state.

Application in Artificial Intelligence

Heuristics are often used in path-finding problems, scheduling, and in the game industry. They are a cornerstone of the A* search algorithm, which combines the benefits of Breadth-First Search (completeness and optimality) and Depth-First Search (space-efficiency) and is used widely due to its effectiveness and efficiency. For instance, the paper ‘Search-Based Optimal Solvers for the Multi-Agent Pathfinding Problem: Summary and Challenges’ discusses various search-based techniques developed for optimally solving Multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) under the sum-of-costs objective function 1 . Similarly, ‘Multi-Agent Pathfinding with Simultaneous Execution of Single-Agent Primitives’ proposes an algorithm for multi-agent pathfinding that utilizes single-agent primitives but allows all agents to move in parallel 2 . These examples illustrate the practical application and effectiveness of heuristics in solving complex problems.

AI approach to the 8-puzzle problem

The 8-puzzle problem is a classic puzzle that involves sliding 8 pieces or tiles on a 3×3 grid. The goal is to rearrange the tiles from a given random configuration to a desired target configuration. The challenge lies in finding the most efficient way to solve the puzzle.

Solving the 8-Puzzle Problem with Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an approach to solving the 8-puzzle problem by using search algorithms and heuristics. One commonly used algorithm is the A* search algorithm, which intelligently explores the search space to find the best solution.

The A* search algorithm works by evaluating the cost of each move based on a combination of the movement cost to reach a certain state and a heuristic function that estimates the distance to the target state. The algorithm then selects the move with the lowest cost and continues its search until it reaches the target state.

One popular heuristic function used for the 8-puzzle problem is the Manhattan distance. The Manhattan distance calculates the sum of the horizontal and vertical distances between each tile’s current position and its target position.

The goal is to reach the target configuration:

The AI algorithm would evaluate the cost of each move and determine the optimal sequence of moves to rearrange the tiles from the initial configuration to the target configuration. The algorithm would slide the tiles to different positions, prioritizing moves that bring the tiles closer to their target positions based on the Manhattan distance heuristic.

In conclusion, AI provides an effective approach to solving the 8-puzzle problem by utilizing search algorithms and heuristics. The A* search algorithm with the Manhattan distance heuristic is a common technique used to find the optimal solution. Through intelligent evaluation of moves and estimation of distances, AI can efficiently solve the 8-puzzle problem.

AI algorithms and techniques can be used to find the optimal solution by searching through the space of possible moves and configurations. These methods have been successfully applied to solve not only the 8-puzzle problem, but also other puzzle problems in various domains.

Artificial intelligence solutions for puzzle problems

In the field of artificial intelligence, solving the 8-puzzle problem is a classic and challenging task. The 8-puzzle, also known as the 8-tile puzzle or 8-piece puzzle, consists of a 3×3 grid with eight numbered tiles and one empty space. The tiles can slide into the empty space, and the goal is to rearrange them into a specific configuration by sliding them.

Various algorithms and implementation strategies have been developed to tackle the 8-puzzle problem using artificial intelligence techniques. One popular approach is to use search algorithms such as A* (A-star) search, which combines breadth-first search and heuristic evaluation functions to efficiently explore the puzzle’s solution space.

These AI solutions typically involve representing the puzzle as a state graph, where each node represents a possible configuration of the puzzle. The search algorithm then navigates through the graph, evaluating the cost of each possible move and selecting the most promising path to the goal state.

Heuristic evaluation functions play a crucial role in these AI solutions. They estimate the cost of reaching the goal state from a given configuration, helping guide the search algorithm towards more promising moves. Common heuristics for the 8-puzzle include the Manhattan distance, which sums the distances between each tile and its goal position, and the misplaced tiles heuristic, which counts the number of tiles that are not in their goal position.

Implementing AI solutions for puzzle problems like the 8-puzzle requires careful consideration of data structures and algorithms. Efficient data structures, such as priority queues and hash tables, can significantly speed up the search process. Additionally, algorithmic optimizations, such as pruning strategies to eliminate redundant paths, can improve the efficiency of the search algorithm.

In conclusion, artificial intelligence offers effective solutions for puzzle problems like the 8-puzzle. Through the implementation of search algorithms and heuristic evaluation functions, AI can efficiently navigate the puzzle’s solution space and find optimal or near-optimal solutions. These techniques have been successfully applied to various problem domains and continue to be an active area of research in the field of artificial intelligence.

One approach is using a search algorithm such as A*, which involves evaluating the cost of each potential move and selecting the path with the lowest cost. Another approach is using a heuristic-based algorithm like the Manhattan distance, which estimates the number of moves required to reach the goal state based on the distance each tile needs to travel.

AI strategies for solving the 8-puzzle problem

The 8-puzzle problem, also known as the 8-tile puzzle, is a classic problem in artificial intelligence. The puzzle consists of a 3×3 grid with 8 pieces numbered from 1 to 8, and one empty tile. The goal is to rearrange the pieces by sliding them into the empty tile until they are in a specific order.

1. Breadth-First Search

One strategy for solving the 8-puzzle problem is the breadth-first search algorithm. This algorithm explores all possible moves from the current state and generates a tree of states until it finds the goal state. It uses a queue to store the states and explores them in a breadth-first manner, ensuring the shortest path to the goal state.

2. A* Search

Another effective strategy for solving the 8-puzzle problem is the A* search algorithm. This algorithm uses a heuristic function to estimate the cost of reaching the goal state from a given state. It combines the cost of the path taken so far with the estimated cost to reach the goal, and explores the states with lower total costs first. This allows for more efficient exploration of the state space.

Both these strategies have been implemented in various AI algorithms and have proven to be effective in solving the 8-puzzle problem. The choice of strategy depends on factors such as the size of the problem, available computing resources, and specific requirements of the application.

Overall, the 8-puzzle problem is a challenging problem in AI, and solving it requires the use of efficient search algorithms and heuristics. The strategies mentioned above are just two examples of many possible approaches to solving this problem, and researchers are continuously developing new and improved techniques.

Using heuristics in AI for puzzle solving

One of the key challenges in solving puzzles, such as the 8-puzzle problem or an 8-tile slide puzzle, is determining the most efficient way to move the pieces towards the desired solution. This is where heuristics come into play in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Heuristics are methods or techniques that provide a way of estimating the optimal solution without exploring all possible paths. They are often used to guide search algorithms towards the most promising options, reducing the search space and improving efficiency.

Implementation of heuristics in puzzle solving

In the case of the 8-puzzle or 8-tile slide problem, heuristics can be used to evaluate how close the current state of the puzzle is to the goal state. This evaluation is typically done by calculating a heuristic value for each puzzle piece, based on its position relative to the desired position.

One commonly used heuristic is the Manhattan distance. This heuristic measures the total number of vertical and horizontal moves required to move each tile to its correct position. It does not consider the complexity of the moves, only the distance.

Another heuristic that can be used is the misplaced tiles heuristic. This heuristic counts the number of tiles that are not in their correct position. The idea behind this heuristic is that the more tiles that are out of place, the further the current state is from the goal state.

Examples of heuristics in solving the 8-puzzle problem

Let’s consider an example of using heuristics in solving the 8-puzzle problem. Suppose we have the following puzzle configuration:

Using the Manhattan distance heuristic, we can calculate the heuristic value for each tile:

• Tile 1: 0 moves away from its correct position
• Tile 2: 0 moves away from its correct position
• Tile 3: 0 moves away from its correct position
• Tile 4: 1 move away from its correct position (down)
• Tile 5: 1 move away from its correct position (left)
• Tile 6: 2 moves away from its correct position (up and left)
• Tile 7: 1 move away from its correct position (up)
• Tile 8: 0 moves away from its correct position

The total heuristic value for this configuration would be 5 (1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 0). This indicates that the current state of the puzzle is relatively close to the desired solution, as the heuristic value is relatively low.

By using heuristics like the Manhattan distance, AI algorithms can make informed decisions about which moves to prioritize and which paths to explore, leading to more efficient puzzle-solving.

AI techniques for solving 8-tile puzzles

One of the classic problems in artificial intelligence is the 8-tile puzzle, also known as the 8-puzzle or 8-piece sliding puzzle. This problem involves a 3×3 grid with eight numbered tiles and one empty space, and the goal is to rearrange the tiles by sliding them into the empty space to reach a specified target configuration.

There are several techniques used in AI to solve the 8-tile puzzle. One common approach is to use a search algorithm, such as the A* search algorithm, to find the optimal solution. The A* algorithm evaluates each possible move based on a heuristic function, which estimates the cost of reaching the goal state from a given state. By considering the estimated cost and the current state, the algorithm selects the most promising move to continue the search.

Another technique commonly used for solving the 8-tile puzzle is called constraint satisfaction. This approach involves representing the problem as a set of constraints and finding a solution that satisfies all of these constraints. For example, the constraints could specify the correct position of each tile in the goal state and the possible moves from each state. By systematically applying the constraints, an AI system can find a solution to the puzzle.

Some AI techniques also use machine learning to solve the 8-tile puzzle. Machine learning algorithms can be trained on a large dataset of example puzzles and their solutions. By learning from these examples, the AI system can develop a strategy for solving new puzzles. This approach can be particularly effective when dealing with complex puzzles or puzzles with multiple possible solutions.

These techniques, such as search algorithms, constraint satisfaction, and machine learning, can be used to find the optimal solution or develop strategies for solving new puzzles. The choice of technique depends on the specific requirements of the problem and the available resources. Regardless of the approach, solving the 8-tile puzzle requires a combination of logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and computational power.

Applying search algorithms to puzzle solving in AI

The 8-puzzle is a classic problem in artificial intelligence that involves sliding tiles in a 3×3 grid with one empty space. The goal is to rearrange the tiles into a specific order by sliding them into the empty space. This puzzle is a popular choice for implementing and testing various search algorithms in AI.

The problem of solving the 8-puzzle can be represented as a search problem, where each state corresponds to a configuration of the puzzle. Each state has a distance from the initial state, which represents the number of moves needed to reach that state. The goal state is a predefined configuration that we want to achieve.

There are various search algorithms that can be applied to solve this problem. One popular algorithm is the A* algorithm, which uses both the distance from the initial state and an estimated distance to the goal state to guide the search. Other algorithms, such as breadth-first search or depth-first search, can also be used.

To implement the solving of the 8-puzzle using search algorithms in AI, we can start by representing the puzzle as a 2D array or a matrix. Each element of the array represents a tile, with a value from 1 to 8 representing the numbered tiles, and 0 representing the empty space.

We can then define the possible moves in terms of sliding the tiles into the empty space. For example, if the empty space is at position (i, j), we can slide a tile from position (i-1, j) into the empty space by swapping the values. We can also slide a tile from position (i+1, j), (i, j-1), or (i, j+1) into the empty space, depending on the position of the empty space.

Once we have defined the possible moves, we can use a search algorithm to explore the possible states and find the optimal solution. The search algorithm will iterate through the possible moves and generate new states until it reaches the goal state or exhausts all possibilities.

For example, consider the initial state of the 8-puzzle shown above. The goal state is usually the completely arranged puzzle, with the tiles in the order 1-2-3-8-0-4-7-6-5. Using a search algorithm like A*, we can find the optimal solution, which is the sequence of moves that transforms the initial state to the goal state.

In conclusion, applying search algorithms to puzzle solving in AI is an interesting and challenging area of study. The 8-puzzle is a classic problem that provides a platform for implementing and testing these algorithms.

These algorithms explore the possible states of the puzzle and try to find the shortest path to reach the goal state from the initial state. They keep track of the visited states and use heuristics to determine the most promising paths to explore.

Problem definition :

An 8 puzzle is a simple game consisting of a 3 x 3 grid (containing 9 squares). One of the squares is empty. The object is to move to squares around into different positions and having the numbers displayed in the "goal state".

Given an initial state of 8-puzzle game and a final state of to be reached, find the most cost-effective path to reach the final state from initial state.

Initial state :

Final state :

Heuristic to be assumed :

Let us consider the Manhattan distance between the current and final state as the heuristic for this problem statement.

Total cost function :

So the total cost function f(n) is given by,

Solution to example problem :

First we find the heuristic value required to reach the final state from initial state. The cost function, g(n) = 0, as we are in the initial state

The above value is obtained, as 1 in the current state is 1 horizontal distance away than the 1 in final state. Same goes for 2 , 5 , 6 . _ is 2 horizontal distance away and 2 vertical distance away. So total value for h(n) is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 8. Total cost function f(n) is equal to 8 + 0 = 8.

Now, the possible states that can be reached from initial state are found and it happens that we can either move _ to right or downwards.

So states obtained after moving those moves are:

Again the total cost function is computed for these states using the method described above and it turns out to be 6 and 7 respectively. We chose the state with minimum cost which is state (1). The next possible moves can be Left, Right or Down. We won't move Left as we were previously in that state. So, we can move Right or Down.

Again we find the states obtained from (1).

(3) leads to cost function equal to 6 and (4) leads to 4. Also, we will consider (2) obtained before which has cost function equal to 7. Choosing minimum from them leads to (4). Next possible moves can be Left or Right or Down. We get states:

We get costs equal to 5, 2 and 4 for (5), (6) and (7) respectively. Also, we have previous states (3) and (2) with 6 and 7 respectively. We chose minimum cost state which is (6). Next possible moves are Up, and Down and clearly Down will lead us to final state leading to heuristic function value equal to 0.

Using Uninformed & Informed Search Algorithms to Solve 8-Puzzle (n-Puzzle) in Python

• July 6, 2017 at 3:30 am

This problem appeared as a project in the  edX course ColumbiaX: CSMM.101x Artificial Intelligence (AI) . In this assignment an agent will be implemented to solve the 8-puzzle game (and the game generalized to an n × n array).

The following description of the problem is taken from the course:

I. Introduction

An instance of the  n-puzzle game  consists of a board holding n^2-1  distinct movable tiles, plus an empty space. The tiles are numbers from the set 1,..,n^2-1 . For any such board, the empty space may be legally swapped with any tile horizontally or vertically adjacent to it. In this assignment, the blank space is going to be represented with the number 0. Given an initial state of the board, the combinatorial search problem is to find a sequence of moves that transitions this state to the goal state; that is, the configuration with all tiles arranged in ascending order 0,1,… ,n^2−1 . The search space is the set of all possible states reachable from the initial state. The blank space may be swapped with a component in one of the four directions  {‘Up’, ‘Down’, ‘Left’, ‘Right’} , one move at a time. The cost of moving from one configuration of the board to another is the same and equal to one. Thus, the total cost of path is equal to the number of moves made from the initial state to the goal state.

II. Algorithm Review

The searches begin by visiting the root node of the search tree, given by the initial state. Among other book-keeping details, three major things happen in sequence in order to visit a node:

• First, we remove a node from the frontier set.
• Second, we check the state against the goal state to determine if a solution has been found.
• Finally, if the result of the check is negative, we then expand the node. To expand a given node, we generate successor nodes adjacent to the current node, and add them to the frontier set. Note that if these successor nodes are already in the frontier, or have already been visited, then they should not be added to the frontier again.

This describes the life-cycle of a visit, and is the basic order of operations for search agents in this assignment—(1) remove, (2) check, and (3) expand. In this assignment, we will implement algorithms as described here.

III. What The Program Need to Output

Example: breadth-first search.

The output file should contain exactly the following lines:

path_to_goal: [‘Up’, ‘Left’, ‘Left’] cost_of_path: 3 nodes_expanded: 10 fringe_size: 11 max_fringe_size: 12 search_depth: 3 max_search_depth: 4 running_time: 0.00188088 max_ram_usage: 0.07812500

The following algorithms are going to be implemented and taken from the lecture slides from the same course.

The following figures and animations show how the 8-puzzle was solved starting from different initial states with different algorithms. For A* and ID-A* search we are going to use  Manhattan heuristic , which is an  admissible heuristic  for this problem. Also, the figures display the search paths from starting state to the goal node (the states with red text denote the path chosen). Let’s start with a very simple example. As can be seen, with this simple example all the algorithms find the same path to the goal node from the initial state.

Example 1: Initial State: 1,2,5,3,4,0,6,7,8

The nodes  expanded  by  BFS  (also the nodes that are in the  fringe  /  frontier  of the queue) are shown in the following figure:

The  path  to the  goal  node (as well as the nodes expanded) with  ID-A*  is shown in the following figure:

Now let’s try a little more complex examples:

Example 2: Initial State: 1,4,2,6,5,8,7,3,0

The  path  to the  goal  node with  A*  is shown in the following figure:

All the nodes  expanded  by  A*  (also the nodes that are in the  fringe  /  frontier  of the queue) are shown in the following figure:

The  path  to the  goal  node with  BFS  is shown in the following figure:

All the nodes  expanded  by  BFS  are shown in the following figure:

Example 3: Initial State: 1,0,2,7,5,4,8,6,3

The  path  to the  goal  node with  A*  is shown in the following figures:

The nodes  expanded  by  A*  (also the nodes that are in the  fringe  /  frontier  of the priority queue) are shown in the following figure (the tree is huge, use  zoom  to view it properly):

The nodes  expanded  by  ID-A*  are shown in the following figure (again the tree is huge, use  zoom  to view it properly):

The same problem (with a little variation) also appeared a programming exercise in the  Coursera Course Algorithm-I  (By Prof.  ROBERT SEDGEWICK ,  Princeton ) . The description of the problem taken from the assignment is shown below (notice that the  goal state  is  different  in this version of the same problem):

Write a program to solve the 8-puzzle problem (and its natural generalizations) using the A* search algorithm.

• Hamming priority function.  The number of blocks in the wrong position, plus the number of moves made so far to get to the state. Intutively, a state with a small number of blocks in the wrong position is close to the goal state, and we prefer a state that have been reached using a small number of moves.
• Manhattan priority function.  The sum of the distances (sum of the vertical and horizontal distance) from the blocks to their goal positions, plus the number of moves made so far to get to the state.

(2)  The following  15-puzzle  is solvable in  6 steps , as shown below:

As a leader, how do you approach challenges in your organization? Do you see them as problems to be solved, or puzzles to be pieced together? In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, this distinction could be the key to unlocking innovation and thriving in uncertain times.

The shift from problem-solving to puzzle-solving isn’t just a change in terminology – it’s a fundamental shift in mindset that can transform how your team tackles complex issues. Let’s explore why this matters and how you can implement it in your organization.

Why Puzzle-Solving Matters for Modern Leaders

1. holistic perspective.

Puzzle-solving encourages leaders to step back and consider all possible pieces before jumping to solutions. This holistic view is crucial when dealing with the multifaceted challenges presented to the modern leader.

2. OPPORTUNITY MINDSET

The Japanese business philosophy kaizen sees problems or challenges as a crucial step in the cycle of improvement. Puzzle-solvers adopt this frame of mind and see difficulty as an opportunity for growth and improvement.

3. EMBRACING DIVERSITY

Puzzle-solving thrives on diverse perspectives. By bringing together varied viewpoints, you can uncover pieces of the puzzle you didn’t even know were missing.

4. CONTINUOUS GROWTH

Puzzle-solving doesn’t just shift us into an opportunity mindset – it also fosters a culture of continuous learning and adaptation. As you piece together each new puzzle, you and your team grow in knowledge and capability.

Puzzle-Solving in Action

Let me share a personal experience that illustrates the power of this approach. During an organizational development event, our team faced the challenge of reducing a contract closure process from several weeks to just two days – a goal that initially seemed impossible.

Instead of being overwhelmed, we reframed the challenge by asking, “What must be true to achieve a two-day turnaround?” This shift in perspective allowed us to rethink the entire process and innovate a solution that met the ambitious target.

By approaching the challenge as a puzzle rather than a problem, we identified aspects of the process we hadn’t previously considered. We brought together team members from different departments, each offering unique insights. This diversity of perspective, combined with a willingness to question our assumptions, led to a breakthrough that transformed our operations.

How to Shift to a Puzzle-Solving Mindset

1. reframe challenges as growth opportunities.

Train your team to see “red” on a scorecard not as a failure, but as an area ripe for improvement and personal growth. This simple reframing can dramatically change how your team approaches challenges.

2. IDENTIFY MISSING PIECES

Before jumping into solution mode, ask, “What information or perspectives might we be overlooking?” This critical thinking approach can reveal crucial insights and areas for development.

3. ASSEMBLE DIVERSE TEAMS

Bring together people from different functions, backgrounds, and thinking styles to enrich your problem-solving process and foster mutual growth.

4. LEVERAGE AI FOR DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES

Use generative AI tools to access a wealth of existing knowledge and frameworks. This can provide you with an unprecedented number of lenses through which to examine a challenge and grow your understanding.

5. CREATE A CULTURE OF CURIOSITY AND GROWTH

Foster an environment where asking questions, seeking out new viewpoints, and continuous learning are encouraged and rewarded.

The Future of Leadership in the Face of Constant Change

As we navigate the technological complexities of the modern era – including generative AI – the ability to shift from problem-solving to puzzle-solving will be a critical skill for leaders. This approach not only helps us tackle immediate challenges more effectively, but also reinforces our organization’s ability to adapt and innovate in the face of rapid technological change.

Remember, the goal isn’t just to solve the problem at hand, but to build a culture and mindset that thrives on complexity and change. By viewing challenges as puzzles and embracing diverse perspectives – both human and AI-generated – you’ll be better equipped to lead your team through the ever-changing landscape of modern business.
