In this lecture segment, backtracking is described as depth-first search, while branch and bound is described as breadth-first search. Backtracking goes down one branch to the next level before considering siblings, whereas branch and bound considers all alternatives at the current level first.
Conditions: Applied to a state-space tree for job sequencing.; The comparison is about exploration order, not about bounding rules or cost evaluation.
