AND/OR Search Spaces can capture the independencies in the graphical model to yield OR Search Trees that are exponentially smaller than the standard search tree (OR Search Tree). AND/OR search tree is bounded exponentially by the height of a pseudo tree that spans the graphical model. The AND/OR Search Tree may contain redundancy and can be removed yielding AND/OR Search Graphs. These additional savings can reduce the size of the AND/OR Search Space further to the point that it can be guaranteed to be no larger than exponentially in the graphical model treewidth
