Abstract: | Depth-first proof-number search (df-pn) is a powerful variant of proof-number search algorithms, widely used for AND/OR tree search or solving games. However, df-pn suffers from the seesaw effect, which strongly hampers the efficiency in some situations. This paper proposes a new proof number algorithm called Deep depth-first proof-number search (Deep df-pn) to reduce the seesaw effect in df-pn. The difference between Deep df-pn and df-pn lies in the proof number or disproof number of unsolved nodes. It is 1 in df-pn, while it is a function of depth with two parameters in Deep df-pn. By adjusting the value of the parameters, Deep df-pn changes its behavior from searching broadly to searching deeply. The paper shows that the adjustment is able to reduce the seesaw effect convincingly. For evaluating the performance of Deep df-pn in the domain of Connect6, we implemented a relevance-zone-oriented Deep df-pn that worked quite efficiently. The experimental results indicate that improving efficiency by the same adjustment technique is also possible in other domains. |
