# Graph Search algorithms
## Breadth-first search (BFS)
BFS expand node in breadth first order while keeping track of the parent node of each expanded node
## Beam search
Beam search is similar to BFS but limits the number of expanded nodes based on a heuristic
## Greedy search
Greedy search is essentially Beam search with a beam width of 1
## Dijkstra
Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path across a graph based on some edge weight
## A*
A* is similar to Dijkstra but uses a heuristic to speed up the search
## Beam-Stack search (BSS)
Beam-Stack search is a variation of beam search which keeps a separate priority queue for each layer of the graph to allow backtracking and expand previously unexpanded nodes
