Instead of working on states, we chose to work on edges for reasons that shall become clear soon. In our case, an edge is a 4-tuple (u, v, a, h(v)) where u is called the predecessor state, v the s ...

1 Divide and Conquer with Reduce
... Thus far, we made the assumption that the combine function has constant cost (i.e., both its work and span are constant), allowing us to state the cost specifications of reduce on a sequence of length n simply as O(n) work and O(log n). While this bound applies readily to problems such as the one fo ...
