3. Soft Computing and Expert System Laboratory Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management Gwalior MTech Thesis Fourth Evaluation MNHS Algorithm In all we take α neurons. We have a list of heuristic costs each corresponding to node seen but waiting to be processed. We divide the cost range into α ranges equally among them. Each of these neurons is given a particular range. Each neuron selects the minimum most element of the cost range allotted to it and starts searching. At one step of each neuron processes its element by searching and expanding the element. This process is repeated.
