DFS Behavior Across Different State Space Structures
- Finite state spaces that are trees: In this scenario, DFS is efficient and complete. It explore all possible states without revisiting any state which ensures that it systematically covers the entire state space.
- Infinite state spaces: Since DFS is not a systematic one in the infinite state space, it can typically get stuck while traversing down an infinite path even if there are no cycles. Thus lack of systematic exploration renders DFS incomplete for infinite state spaces, as it may not cover the entire space or it may never terminate. Such that makes the Depth-first search incomplete.
- Cyclic state spaces: DFS can stuck in an infinite loop when dealing with the cyclic state spaces. To address this issue, some implementations of DFS incorporate a cycle-checking mechanism to prevent revisiting states and entering an infinite loop.
- Acyclic state spaces: Even though it is capable of exploring the entire state spaces, the acyclic state spaces may lead to expanding the same state many times via different paths.
