Cartesian abstractions can flexibly approximate planning tasks to generate admissible heuristic functions. Constrained abstractions use state constraints, such as mutexes, to eliminate parts of the abstraction that cannot belong to solutions for the original problem. While this has been successfully
In planning tasks, conditional effects model action outcomes that depend on the current state of the world. Conditional effects are a crucial modeling feature since compiling them away can cause an exponential growth in task size. However, only a few admissible heuristics support them. To add abstra
Counterexample-Guided Abstraction Refinement (CEGAR) is a prominent technique to generate Cartesian abstractions for guiding search in cost- optimal planning. The core idea is to iteratively refine the abstraction, finding a flaw of the current optimal abstract plan. All existing approaches find the…
