β¦ Synopsis
There is a developing theory of growing power which, at its current stage of development (indeed, for a number of years now), speaks to qualitative and quantitative aspects of search strategies. Although it has been specialized and applied to genetic algorithms, its implications and applicability are far more general. This paper deals with the broad outlines of the theory, introducing basic principles and results rather than analyzing or specializing to particular algorithms. A few speciΓΏc examples are included for illustrative purposes, but the theory's basic structure, as opposed to applications, remains the focus.

A heuristic search strategy via islands is suggested to significantly decrease the number of nodes expanded. Algorithm I, which searches through a set of island nodes ("island set"), is presented assuming that the island set contains at least one node on an optimal cost path. This algorithm is shown
