Branching factor of search process
Through the analysis of the data, using the A - branching factor analysis the different behaviors of ant system algorithm and improved algorithm in different parameters sets. verified the optimization of the search behavior through the use of the candidate list.
Moreover, the analysis has indicated that the asymptotic heuristic branching factor is same as the brute-force branching factor.
Nested factors depends on the branching factors, and within different levels of the branching factor, there exist different nested factors.
Traditional analysis use accuracy as character of the heuristic function and the function's effect is to decrease the actual branching factor.
