我发现了一个非常漂亮的递归(甚至函数)宽度优先遍历相关算法。不是我的想法，但我认为在这个话题中应该提到它。

Chris Okasaki在http://okasaki.blogspot.de/2008/07/breadth-first-numbering-algorithm-in.html上用3张图片非常清楚地解释了他的ICFP 2000的宽度优先编号算法。

Debasish Ghosh的Scala实现，我在http://debasishg.blogspot.de/2008/09/breadth-first-numbering-okasakis.html找到的，是:

trait Tree[+T]
case class Node[+T](data: T, left: Tree[T], right: Tree[T]) extends Tree[T]
case object E extends Tree[Nothing]

def bfsNumForest[T](i: Int, trees: Queue[Tree[T]]): Queue[Tree[Int]] = {
  if (trees.isEmpty) Queue.Empty
  else {
    trees.dequeue match {
      case (E, ts) =>
        bfsNumForest(i, ts).enqueue[Tree[Int]](E)
      case (Node(d, l, r), ts) =>
        val q = ts.enqueue(l, r)
        val qq = bfsNumForest(i+1, q)
        val (bb, qqq) = qq.dequeue
        val (aa, tss) = qqq.dequeue
        tss.enqueue[org.dg.collection.BFSNumber.Tree[Int]](Node(i, aa, bb))
    }
  }
}

def bfsNumTree[T](t: Tree[T]): Tree[Int] = {
  val q = Queue.Empty.enqueue[Tree[T]](t)
  val qq = bfsNumForest(1, q)
  qq.dequeue._1
}

我找不到一种完全递归的方法(没有任何辅助数据结构)。但是如果队列Q是通过引用传递的，那么你可以得到下面这个愚蠢的尾部递归函数:

BFS(Q)
{
  if (|Q| > 0)
     v <- Dequeue(Q)
     Traverse(v)
     foreach w in children(v)
        Enqueue(Q, w)    

     BFS(Q)
}

我认为这可以使用指针来完成，而不使用任何队列。

基本上我们在任何地方都维护两个指针，一个指向父结点，另一个指向待处理的子结点(链接列表指向所有已处理的子结点)

现在你只需分配子进程的指针&当父进程处理完成时，你只需让子进程成为父进程进行下一层的处理

以下是我的代码:

//Tree Node
struct Node {
    int val;
    Node* left;
    Node* right;
    Node* next;

    Node() : val(0), left(NULL), right(NULL), next(NULL) {}

    Node(int _val) : val(_val), left(NULL), right(NULL), next(NULL) {}

    Node(int _val, Node* _left, Node* _right, Node* _next)
        : val(_val), left(_left), right(_right), next(_next) {}
};
    

/ / Algorightm:

    void LevelTraverse(Node* parent,Node* chidstart,Node* childend ){
        if(!parent && !chidstart) return;  // we processed everything
        
        if(!parent && chidstart){ //finished processing last level
            parent=chidstart;chidstart=childend=NULL; // assgin child to parent for processing next level
            LevelTraverse(parent,chidstart,childend);
        }else if(parent && !chidstart){ // This is new level first node tobe processed
            Node* temp=parent; parent=parent->next;
            if(temp->left) { childend=chidstart=temp->left; }
            if(chidstart){
                if(temp->right) { childend->next=temp->right; childend=temp->right; }
            }else{
                if(temp->right) { childend=chidstart=temp->right; }
            }
            LevelTraverse(parent,chidstart,childend);
        }else if(parent && chidstart){ //we are in mid of some level processing
            Node* temp=parent; parent=parent->next;
            if(temp->left) { childend->next=temp->left; childend=temp->left; }
            if(temp->right) { childend->next=temp->right; childend=temp->right; }
            LevelTraverse(parent,chidstart,childend);
        }
    }

//驱动代码:

    Node* connect(Node* root) {
        if(!root) return NULL;
        Node* parent; Node* childs, *childe; parent=childs=childe=NULL;
        parent=root;
        LevelTraverse(parent, childs, childe);
        return root;
    }

Java中简单的BFS和DFS递归: 只需要在堆栈/队列中推送/提供树的根节点并调用这些函数。

public static void breadthFirstSearch(Queue queue) {

    if (queue.isEmpty())
        return;

    Node node = (Node) queue.poll();

    System.out.println(node + " ");

    if (node.right != null)
        queue.offer(node.right);

    if (node.left != null)
        queue.offer(node.left);

    breadthFirstSearch(queue);
}

public static void depthFirstSearch(Stack stack) {

    if (stack.isEmpty())
        return;

    Node node = (Node) stack.pop();

    System.out.println(node + " ");

    if (node.right != null)
        stack.push(node.right);

    if (node.left != null)
        stack.push(node.left);

    depthFirstSearch(stack);
}

下面是一个python实现:

graph = {'A': ['B', 'C'],
         'B': ['C', 'D'],
         'C': ['D'],
         'D': ['C'],
         'E': ['F'],
         'F': ['C']}

def bfs(paths, goal):
    if not paths:
        raise StopIteration

    new_paths = []
    for path in paths:
        if path[-1] == goal:
            yield path

        last = path[-1]
        for neighbor in graph[last]:
            if neighbor not in path:
                new_paths.append(path + [neighbor])
    yield from bfs(new_paths, goal)


for path in bfs([['A']], 'D'):
    print(path)

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define Max 1000

vector <int> adj[Max];
bool visited[Max];

void bfs_recursion_utils(queue<int>& Q) {
    while(!Q.empty()) {
        int u = Q.front();
        visited[u] = true;
        cout << u << endl;
        Q.pop();
        for(int i = 0; i < (int)adj[u].size(); ++i) {
            int v = adj[u][i];
            if(!visited[v])
                Q.push(v), visited[v] = true;
        }
        bfs_recursion_utils(Q);
    }
}

void bfs_recursion(int source, queue <int>& Q) {
    memset(visited, false, sizeof visited);
    Q.push(source);
    bfs_recursion_utils(Q);
}

int main(void) {
    queue <int> Q;
    adj[1].push_back(2);
    adj[1].push_back(3);
    adj[1].push_back(4);

    adj[2].push_back(5);

    return 0;
