Re90: The Map Class
(Best-First-Search Part 9, AIMA4e pp. 73-74)

retraice.com

How instantiations of Map work.
The attributes of Mapare locations, neighborsand distances; multimapproduces the neighborsdictionary; tlinkshas the actions(in pairs of states) and cost values in miles of our state space tmap; tlocationshas the states of tmap; Problemhas our initialand goalstates as attributes, and the is_goalmethod; RouteProblemhas our
actions, resultand action_costmethods.

A Map has locations, neighbors and distances

Formalizing a search problem^1 with implementation

* state space, a set of possible states of the environment and the actions that transition from one to another:
tmap, an instantiation of Map with arguments tlinks (actions, with costs in miles), and tlocations (the set of possible states, with coordinates).
* initial state, the state in which the agent starts:
Given as the first argument ('A') in tproblem = RouteProblem('A', 'Dadda', map=tmap).
* goal state(s), a set of one or more; account for one, some, infinite (by means of a property) by specifying Is-Goal method for problem:
Given as the second argument ('Dadda') in tproblem = RouteProblem('A', 'Dadda', map=tmap).
The is_goal(self, state)method is part of the Problemparent class.
* actions, what the agent can do; Actions(state) returns a finite set of actions that can be executed in state:
tlinks, which also has costs in miles.
The actions(self, state)method is part of the RouteProblemclass.
* transition model, describes what actions do; Result(state,action) returns the state s'that results from doing action in state:
The result(self, state, action)method is part of the RouteProblemclass.
* action cost function, Action-Cost(s,a,s') gives the numeric cost of applying action ain state sto reach new state s'. Cf. the evaluation function, which we'll use to prioritize our nodes for next expansion, and the objective function, which was our cost measure to be minimized in the airport problem.^2
The action_cost(self, s, action, s1)method is part of the RouteProblemclass.
