+# Deadlock and Optimizations
+
+## Deadlock detections
+### Simple corner deadlock detection
+The simple corner deadlock that was already implemented aims to prevent a box
+from being pushed into a corner. If it is pushed into a corner, it is
+inaccessible and immovable, thus rendering that state unsolvable.
+
+### Freeze deadlock detection
+Described 
+[here](http://sokobano.de/wiki/index.php?title=Deadlocks#Freeze_deadlocks), 
+freeze detection is about preventing two boxes from being adjacent against a 
+wall when there is no goal in that location. This deadlock detection was chosen
+as there are many scenarios (such as in test_maps/test_map2 and 
+test_maps/test_map3) where there are multiple boxes and a complex map layout.
+This deadlock detection saves a small amount time and reduces the number of 
+nodes that are expanded.
+
+The code for this detection is contained in `utils.c`, from lines 321 - 480. 
+The function `freeze_deadlock()` is used to check if there is a box adjacent to
+the player, and if there is, then the function `adjacent_box_check()` is called
+to check for the freeze deadlock scenario.
+
+## Optimisation results
+These results show the impact of implementing the freeze deadlock detection.
+
+Hardware used:
+- CPU: AMD Ryzen 4800U
+- GPU: AMD Radeon RX Vega 8
+- Memory: 16GB
+
+### Summary of optimisation
+The following table summarises some of the key statistics prior to implementing
+freeze deadlock detection, and after implementing freeze deadlock detection.
