Detailed Description

GMAA_MAAstar is a class that represents a planner that performs MAA* as described by Szer et al.

(see refMAA in DOC-References.h)

MAA* performs a heuristic search for the optimal policy. When used with an admissible heuristic it is guaranteed to find the optimal policy.

void GMAA_MAAstar::SelectPoliciesToProcessFurther ( PartialPolicyPoolInterface poolOfNextPolicies,
bool  are_LBs,
double  bestLB 
)
protectedvirtual

the last part of the 'NEXT' function from refGMAA.

This filters out some policies we do not want to process further. Typically this function is used to only return the best k policies.

Also, this function returns nothing if are_LBs==true, which indicates that ALL the policies in poolOfNextPolicies are full-length policies (that should not be processed further).

This function can be overrides the one in the base class
