  1. Planning under time pressure arises in many situations. Real-time heuristic search, in which an agent must compute its next action within a prespecified time bound, has proven to be a useful model of real-time planning. However, it is laborious to prove the completeness of new real-time search algorithms. In this paper, we provide a general proof of the completeness of a standard real-time heuristic search algorithm in any problem domain that obeys the axioms of a cost algebra. The proof includes additional detail on how h values change as the algorithm learns. This foundation clarifies the dependence of the proof on domain and algorithm properties and will ease future applications of real-time planning.
