Abstract

The A* algorithm belongs to the class of best first graph-search algorithms and is frequently used to find minimum-cost paths. Recently, A* has been generalised to solve multiple-objective search problems, returning the set of non-dominated solution paths. This paper presents METAL-A*, an admissible heuristic search algorithm for search problems with lexicographic goals that returns the set of non-dominated paths that best achieves a set of lexicographic goals.
