Abstract:
The task of revealing the relationship between a search algorithm and a class of functions those it
solves is considered. Particularly, there was found a class of functions solvable by some adaptive search
algorithm for a discrete space of low cardinality. To find an optimal algorithm exhaustive search was used.
Algorithm quality criterion based on equivalence classes was also introduced.
