Abstract

The ComBack method is a memory reduction technique for explicit state space search algorithms. It enhances hash compaction with state reconstruction to resolve hash conflicts on-the-fly thereby ensuring full coverage of the state space. In this paper we provide two means to lower the run-time penalty induced by state reconstructions: a set of strategies to implement the caching method proposed in [20], and an extension through delayed duplicate detection that allows to group reconstructions together to save redundant work.
