A problem that can be broken down into smaller, independent sub-problems.

A problem that cannot be broken down into smaller, independent sub-problems.

Solution steps that can be skipped or reversed without irreparably hindering progress in the problem-solving process.

Steps that can be undone or changed in case of errors or when a better approach surfaces.

Determining the degree to which the problem context is consistent.

Whether a computer, given the problem alone, can find a solution or needs interaction with a human.

Describes whether problem solving requires a significant amount of background knowledge or if a smaller set of related rules or guidelines will suffice.

Whether the solution is simply a specific state the problem reaches or a sequence of steps to achieve the objective state.

Problems where incorrect solution steps can be undone or ignored.

Problems where incorrect solution steps cannot be undone; each decision is crucial.

Problems where solution steps can be ignored.

Problems with predictable outcomes, each move leading to a known state.

Problems with unpredictable outcomes; future actions aren't known.

Problems with many valid solutions, not necessarily the best one.

A puzzle where tiles need to be arranged in a specific order.

A game where moves are irrecoverable.

A solution that is guaranteed to be the best possible, regardless of any other factors or circumstances.

A solution that is good in a particular context, but may not be the best in all situations.

A path in a graph that visits every vertex (city) exactly once and returns to the starting vertex.

A problem that requires finding the optimal or best solution among all possible solutions, often involving a complex search space.

A rule of thumb or guideline used to solve a problem, often based on experience or intuition.

A measure of the difficulty of a problem, based on how much time and resources are needed to solve it.

The solution is a sequence of steps (a 'path') leading to the desired final state. This path represents how the problem is solved.

The solution is the final state the problem reaches. The steps taken to get there are not part of the solution.

Knowledge helps to constrain the search for a solution by providing rules or frameworks to guide the process.

Problems where the computer is given the problem and produces a solution without needing interaction with a user.

Problems where the computer requires intermediate communication with a user to provide assistance or receive additional information to reach a solution.

Problems where there are many valid solutions, not necessarily the best one, and any of them will reach the desired state.

Problems where the solution involves finding the most optimal path (the best sequence of steps) to reach the desired final state.

In 'Best-Path' problems, the solution is the optimal path, while in 'Any-Path' problems, any valid path is considered a solution.

A system where applying one rule doesn't prevent applying other rules that could have been applied earlier.

A system where applying one rule can prevent applying other rules later, even if they could have been applied earlier.

A system where applying rules in a different order still leads to the same result, as long as the order is allowed.

A system that is both monotonic and partially commutative, meaning rules can be applied in any order.

While all problems can be solved by all types of production systems in theory, some systems are more efficient and natural for certain problem types in practice.
