Combinatorial Explosion of Search
When the number of paths in a search space grows exponentially, a combinatorial explosion results: the search becomes too long to be carried out, given time and money constraints—even though search heuristics can improve efficiency.


Note: Combinatorial explosion also affects the problem of representing commonsense knowledge.

See "Combinatorial Explosion of the Knowledge", Box 92.
