Alternation open list
alternates between several open lists.
alt(sublists, boost=0)
sublists (list of OpenList): open lists between which this one alternates
boost (int): boost value for contained open lists that are restricted to preferred successors
Epsilon-greedy open list
Chooses an entry uniformly randomly with probability 'epsilon', otherwise it returns the minimum entry. The algorithm is based on
Richard Valenzano, Nathan R. Sturtevant, Jonathan Schaeffer and Fan Xie.

epsilon_greedy(eval, pref_only=false, epsilon=0.2, random_seed=-1)
eval (Evaluator): evaluator
pref_only (bool): insert only nodes generated by preferred operators
epsilon (double [0.0, 1.0]): probability for choosing the next entry randomly
random_seed (int [-1, infinity]): Set to -1 (default) to use the global random number generator. Set to any other value to use a local random number generator with the given seed.
Pareto open list
Selects one of the Pareto-optimal (regarding the sub-evaluators) entries for removal.
pareto(evals, pref_only=false, state_uniform_selection=false, random_seed=-1)
evals (list of Evaluator): evaluators
pref_only (bool): insert only nodes generated by preferred operators
state_uniform_selection (bool): When removing an entry, we select a non-dominated bucket and return its oldest entry. If this option is false, we select uniformly from the non-dominated buckets; if the option is true, we weight the buckets with the number of entries.
random_seed (int [-1, infinity]): Set to -1 (default) to use the global random number generator. Set to any other value to use a local random number generator with the given seed.
Best-first open list
Open list that uses a single evaluator and FIFO tiebreaking.
single(eval, pref_only=false)
eval (Evaluator): evaluator
pref_only (bool): insert only nodes generated by preferred operators
Implementation Notes: Elements with the same evaluator value are stored in double-ended queues, called "buckets". The open list stores a map from evaluator values to buckets. Pushing and popping from a bucket runs in constant time. Therefore, inserting and removing an entry from the open list takes time O(log(n)), where n is the number of buckets.
Tie-breaking open list
tiebreaking(evals, pref_only=false, unsafe_pruning=true)
evals (list of Evaluator): evaluators
pref_only (bool): insert only nodes generated by preferred operators
unsafe_pruning (bool): allow unsafe pruning when the main evaluator regards a state a dead end
Type-based open list
Uses multiple evaluators to assign entries to buckets. All entries in a bucket have the same evaluator values. When retrieving an entry, a bucket is chosen uniformly at random and one of the contained entries is selected uniformly randomly. The algorithm is based on
Fan Xie, Martin Mueller, Robert Holte and Tatsuya Imai.

type_based(evaluators, random_seed=-1)
evaluators (list of Evaluator): Evaluators used to determine the bucket for each entry.
random_seed (int [-1, infinity]): Set to -1 (default) to use the global random number generator. Set to any other value to use a local random number generator with the given seed.
