我想在上面的答案中加上我的观点，如果语言支持生成器之类的东西，bfs可以协递归地完成。

首先，@Tanzelax的回答是:

宽度优先遍历传统上使用队列，而不是堆栈。队列和堆栈的性质几乎是相反的，因此试图使用调用堆栈(因此得名为堆栈)作为辅助存储(队列)几乎是注定要失败的

实际上，普通函数调用的堆栈不会像普通堆栈那样运行。但是生成器函数将暂停函数的执行，因此它给了我们产生下一层节点的子节点的机会，而无需深入研究节点的更深层次的后代。

下面的代码是Python中的递归bfs。

def bfs(root):
  yield root
  for n in bfs(root):
    for c in n.children:
      yield c

这里的直觉是:

BFS首先将根作为第一个结果返回 假设我们已经有了BFS序列，BFS中的下一层元素是序列中前一个节点的直接子节点 重复以上两个步骤

c#实现的递归宽度优先搜索二叉树算法。

二叉树数据可视化

IDictionary<string, string[]> graph = new Dictionary<string, string[]> {
    {"A", new [] {"B", "C"}},
    {"B", new [] {"D", "E"}},
    {"C", new [] {"F", "G"}},
    {"E", new [] {"H"}}
};

void Main()
{
    var pathFound = BreadthFirstSearch("A", "H", new string[0]);
    Console.WriteLine(pathFound); // [A, B, E, H]

    var pathNotFound = BreadthFirstSearch("A", "Z", new string[0]);
    Console.WriteLine(pathNotFound); // []
}

IEnumerable<string> BreadthFirstSearch(string start, string end, IEnumerable<string> path)
{
    if (start == end)
    {
        return path.Concat(new[] { end });
    }

    if (!graph.ContainsKey(start)) { return new string[0]; }    

    return graph[start].SelectMany(letter => BreadthFirstSearch(letter, end, path.Concat(new[] { start })));
}

如果你想让算法不仅适用于二叉树，而且适用于有两个或两个以上节点指向同一个节点的图，你必须通过持有已经访问过的节点列表来避免自循环。实现可能是这样的。

图形数据可视化

IDictionary<string, string[]> graph = new Dictionary<string, string[]> {
    {"A", new [] {"B", "C"}},
    {"B", new [] {"D", "E"}},
    {"C", new [] {"F", "G", "E"}},
    {"E", new [] {"H"}}
};

void Main()
{
    var pathFound = BreadthFirstSearch("A", "H", new string[0], new List<string>());
    Console.WriteLine(pathFound); // [A, B, E, H]

    var pathNotFound = BreadthFirstSearch("A", "Z", new string[0], new List<string>());
    Console.WriteLine(pathNotFound); // []
}

IEnumerable<string> BreadthFirstSearch(string start, string end, IEnumerable<string> path, IList<string> visited)
{
    if (start == end)
    {
        return path.Concat(new[] { end });
    }

    if (!graph.ContainsKey(start)) { return new string[0]; }


    return graph[start].Aggregate(new string[0], (acc, letter) =>
    {
        if (visited.Contains(letter))
        {
            return acc;
        }

        visited.Add(letter);

        var result = BreadthFirstSearch(letter, end, path.Concat(new[] { start }), visited);
        return acc.Concat(result).ToArray();
    });
}

愚蠢的方式:

template<typename T>
struct Node { Node* left; Node* right; T value; };

template<typename T, typename P>
bool searchNodeDepth(Node<T>* node, Node<T>** result, int depth, P pred) {
    if (!node) return false;
    if (!depth) {
        if (pred(node->value)) {
            *result = node;
        }
        return true;
    }
    --depth;
    searchNodeDepth(node->left, result, depth, pred);
    if (!*result)
        searchNodeDepth(node->right, result, depth, pred);
    return true;
}

template<typename T, typename P>
Node<T>* searchNode(Node<T>* node, P pred) {
    Node<T>* result = NULL;
    int depth = 0;
    while (searchNodeDepth(node, &result, depth, pred) && !result)
        ++depth;
    return result;
}

int main()
{
    // a c   f
    //  b   e
    //    d
    Node<char*>
        a = { NULL, NULL, "A" },
        c = { NULL, NULL, "C" },
        b = { &a, &c, "B" },
        f = { NULL, NULL, "F" },
        e = { NULL, &f, "E" },
        d = { &b, &e, "D" };

    Node<char*>* found = searchNode(&d, [](char* value) -> bool {
        printf("%s\n", value);
        return !strcmp((char*)value, "F");
    });

    printf("found: %s\n", found->value);

    return 0;
}

如果使用数组来支持二叉树，则可以用代数方法确定下一个节点。如果I是一个节点，那么它的子节点可以在2i + 1(左节点)和2i + 2(右节点)处找到。节点的下一个邻居由i + 1给出，除非i是2的幂

下面是在数组支持的二叉搜索树上实现宽度优先搜索的伪代码。这假设一个固定大小的数组，因此一个固定深度的树。它将查看无父节点，并可能创建难以管理的大堆栈。

bintree-bfs(bintree, elt, i)
    if (i == LENGTH)
        return false

    else if (bintree[i] == elt)
        return true

    else 
        return bintree-bfs(bintree, elt, i+1)        

二进制(或n-ary)树的BFS可以在没有队列的情况下递归完成，如下所示(在Java中):

public class BreathFirst {

    static class Node {
        Node(int value) {
            this(value, 0);
        }
        Node(int value, int nChildren) {
            this.value = value;
            this.children = new Node[nChildren];
        }
        int value;
        Node[] children;
    }

    static void breathFirst(Node root, Consumer<? super Node> printer) {
        boolean keepGoing = true;
        for (int level = 0; keepGoing; level++) {
            keepGoing = breathFirst(root, printer, level);
        }
    }

    static boolean breathFirst(Node node, Consumer<? super Node> printer, int depth) {
        if (depth < 0 || node == null) return false;
        if (depth == 0) {
            printer.accept(node);
            return true;
        }
        boolean any = false;
        for (final Node child : node.children) {
            any |= breathFirst(child, printer, depth - 1);
        }
        return any;
    }
}

按升序遍历打印数字1-12的示例:

public static void main(String... args) {
    //            1
    //          / | \
    //        2   3   4
    //      / |       | \
    //    5   6       7  8
    //  / |           | \
    // 9  10         11  12

    Node root = new Node(1, 3);
    root.children[0] = new Node(2, 2);
    root.children[1] = new Node(3);
    root.children[2] = new Node(4, 2);
    root.children[0].children[0] = new Node(5, 2);
    root.children[0].children[1] = new Node(6);
    root.children[2].children[0] = new Node(7, 2);
    root.children[2].children[1] = new Node(8);
    root.children[0].children[0].children[0] = new Node(9);
    root.children[0].children[0].children[1] = new Node(10);
    root.children[2].children[0].children[0] = new Node(11);
    root.children[2].children[0].children[1] = new Node(12);

    breathFirst(root, n -> System.out.println(n.value));
}

以下是我的完全递归实现的双向图的广度优先搜索的代码，而不使用循环和队列。

public class Graph { public int V; public LinkedList<Integer> adj[]; Graph(int v) { V = v; adj = new LinkedList[v]; for (int i=0; i<v; ++i) adj[i] = new LinkedList<>(); } void addEdge(int v,int w) { adj[v].add(w); adj[w].add(v); } public LinkedList<Integer> getAdjVerted(int vertex) { return adj[vertex]; } public String toString() { String s = ""; for (int i=0;i<adj.length;i++) { s = s +"\n"+i +"-->"+ adj[i] ; } return s; } } //BFS IMPLEMENTATION public static void recursiveBFS(Graph graph, int vertex,boolean visited[], boolean isAdjPrinted[]) { if (!visited[vertex]) { System.out.print(vertex +" "); visited[vertex] = true; } if(!isAdjPrinted[vertex]) { isAdjPrinted[vertex] = true; List<Integer> adjList = graph.getAdjVerted(vertex); printAdjecent(graph, adjList, visited, 0,isAdjPrinted); } } public static void recursiveBFS(Graph graph, List<Integer> vertexList, boolean visited[], int i, boolean isAdjPrinted[]) { if (i < vertexList.size()) { recursiveBFS(graph, vertexList.get(i), visited, isAdjPrinted); recursiveBFS(graph, vertexList, visited, i+1, isAdjPrinted); } } public static void printAdjecent(Graph graph, List<Integer> list, boolean visited[], int i, boolean isAdjPrinted[]) { if (i < list.size()) { if (!visited[list.get(i)]) { System.out.print(list.get(i)+" "); visited[list.get(i)] = true; } printAdjecent(graph, list, visited, i+1, isAdjPrinted); } else { recursiveBFS(graph, list, visited, 0, isAdjPrinted); } }
