Abstract

Optimal cost partitioning can produce high quality heuristic estimates even from small abstractions. It can be computed with a linear program (LP) but the size of this LP often makes this impractical. Recent work used Lagrangian decomposition to speed up the computation. Here we use a different decomposition technique called Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition to tackle the problem. This gives new insights into optimal cost partitioning and has several advantages over Lagrangian decomposition: our method detects when a cost partition is optimal; it can deal with general cost functions; and it does not consider abstractions in the linear program that do not contribute to the heuristic value. We also show the advantage of the method empirically and investigate several improvements that are useful for all cost partitioning methods.
