Search2
In the A* search algorithm, using a consistent heuristic means that once a node is expanded, the cost by which it was reached is the lowest possible, under the same conditions that Dijkstra's algorithm requires in solving the shortest path problem (no negative cost edges). (wikipedia.org)
In fact, if the search graph is given cost c ′ ( N , P ) = c ( N , P ) + h ( P ) − h ( N ) {\displaystyle c'(N,P)=c(N,P)+h(P)-h(N)} for a consistent h {\displaystyle h} , then A* is equivalent to best-first search on that graph using Dijkstra's algorithm. (wikipedia.org)

Graph2
where h is the consistent heuristic function N is any node in the graph P is any descendant of N G is any goal node c(N,P) is the cost of reaching node P from N Informally, every node i will give an estimate that, accounting for the cost to reach the next node, is always lesser than the estimate at node i+1.
