 Breadth-first search - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general breadth-first search is not optimal since it always returns the result with the fewest edges between the start node and the goal node.
In computer science, breadth-first search (BFS) is a tree search algorithm used for traversing or searching a tree, tree structure, or graph.
This immense demand for space is the reason why breadth-first search is impractical for larger problems.

 Binary tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike a depth-first search on graphs, there is no need to remember all the nodes we have visited, because a tree cannot contain cycles.
One common use of binary trees is binary search trees; another is binary heaps.
In-order traversal is useful in binary search trees, where this traversal visits the nodes in increasing order.

 Implementing Breadth First Search
The breadth first search uses a Queue data structure (a queue is a sequence that is "first in, first out"; that is, you remove items from a queue in the same order that they were added).
If we want to perform a breadth first search from node "0" to node "9", we start by putting all of the nodes connected to node "0" on the queue.
For many applications, you would want to add heuristics to a breadth first search by controlling the "order in which nodes are added to the queue.

 BFS and DFS
Breadth first search has several uses in other graph algorithms, but most are too complicated to explain in detail here.
Breadth first search trees have a nice property: Every edge of G can be classified into one of three groups.
The proof that vertices are in this order by breadth first search goes by induction on the level number.

 The Breadth First Search Method
Note that the breadth first search method does not take into account the weights of the edges it cuts, nor does it provide a method for improving upon the original solution, thus restricting its value in studying the distribution of software applications across a parallel network.
Since a breadth first search performs an exhaustive search on adjacent nodes at each level, there should never be more than one level of distance between any two adjacent nodes.
Choosing an arbitrary node as a starting point, execute a breadth first search to build a tree, assigning a level to each node based on its distance from the root.

A Breadth First Search of the graph, starting at vertex G, accesses the vertices in the following order:
Thus first find the length 0 paths, then the length one paths, length two paths, etc (this is the greedy approach).
That is the first value inserted into the queue will be the first one taken out of the queue.

  In the case of graphs, the two basic methods of traversal are breadth first and depth first.

 Methods of Search
Depth first search begins by diving down as quickly as possible to the leaf nodes of the tree (or graph).
That is, we will search first from the node that we have found so far that has the lowest f(N).
In some situations, we have partial knowledge of the structure of the search space that can be applied to guide search.

BFS basically is used to search a graph by dividing the graph into levels and searching a node, and its neighbour and its neighbour's neighbour (hope i'm correct with d concept)
You would then create a class called LinkedList that has a pointer to the first node in the llist, and a method to create a new node (which would probably consist of calling the city constructore, and then calling the node constructor passing it the city object as a parameter.
First you would crreate a cities class that holds relevant information about the city.

 Breadth-First Search: An Alternative
If the goal searched for is labelled L then the search path taken would be A B C D E F G H I J K L. Now we search breadth-first.
Thus we follow the search by looking first at node 1 then at nodes 2, 3 and 4 then nodes 5, 6, 7 and 8.
If we take a tree of 12 states which have been searched in a depth-first way then we number all the nodes in a depth-first left-to-right manner.

 Game Character Path Finding in Java > Breadth-First Search
A breadth-first search visits nodes in the order of their distance from the start node, where distance is measured as the number of traversed edges.
So, with a breadth-first search, first all nodes one edge away from the start node are visited, then two edges away, and so on until all nodes are visited.
The A* algorithm is a close relative to the simpler Breadth-first search algorithm and both are algorithms for searching a graph.

 Breadth First Search
The breadth first algorithm is completely analogous to the simple version of the depth first algorithm except that we do not use a stack for storing data but a queue.

 Depth First Search (flexible) ( GIT_DFS )
After the algorithm performed a depth first search, one may push another iterator onto the stack to restart the algorithm.
If the stack is only modified by pushing the iterator representing the source node onto the stack, a normal depth first search beginning at the node of the graph is performed.
The stack used for the search must be provided by the caller and contains the source(s) of the search.

 CogSci 108b: Implementing Searches
To implement a breadth first search or a depth first search correctly, we need to provide an algorithm for which we can demonstrate that the states are explored in the right order.
For breadth-first search, we need to implement a queue.
Recall from the previous lecture the diagrams of the order in which search states are considered for Breadth-First and Depth-First Search:

 Depth first vs Breadth first Search
Breadth first search may use more memory, but will not get stuck in blind alleys, and will always find the shortest path first (or at least, the path that involves the least number of steps).
We've so far discussed simple breadth first search and depth first search.
Also, depth first search may get stuck exploring long (and potentially infinite) blind alleys, when there is in fact a solution path of only one or two steps.

 Breadth-First Search Crawling Yields High-Quality Pages
Although breadth-first search crawling seems to be a very natural crawling strategy, not all of the crawlers we are familiar with employ it.
We speculate that breadth-first search is a good crawling strategy because the most important pages have many links to them from numerous hosts, and those links will be found early, regardless of on which host or page the crawl originates.
The experiments described in this paper demonstrate that a crawler that downloads pages in breadth-first search order discovers the highest quality pages during the early stages of the crawl.

 Breadth-First Search
This distributed breadth-first search algorithm implements a level-synchronized breadth-first search, meaning that all vertices in a given level of the BFS tree will be processed (potentially in parallel) before any vertices from a successive level in the tree are processed.
All parameters of the sequential breadth-first search are supported and have essentially the same meaning.
Differences in semantics are highlighted here, and we refer the reader to the documentation of the sequential breadth-first search for the remainder of the details.

 Lecture 14
When a search looks at all the nodes at one level before looking at the next level, that is when it searches the breadth of the tree before it looks deeper, that's called "breadth-first search".
The order in which nodes are visited is now what you'd expect from depth-first search, not from breadth-first search.
In other words, each time that binary search eliminates part of the tree, it's reducing the number of nodes to be searched by a power of 2.

 Graph Algorithms
Search a graph (directed or not) in breadth first; this is done by using a queue where the vertices found are stored.
Therefore a Breadth First Search is preferred, since it dispatches requests to many servers at a time.
An example of BFS usage, instead of DFS, is to implement a Web robot; a Depth First Search performed on the World Wide Web (a neat graph, isn't it?) would quickly overload any given web server with an ever growing number of requests.
