Generalized best-first search strategies and the optimality of A*

TL;DR: It is shown that several known properties of A* retain their form and it is also shown that no optimal algorithm exists, but if the performance tests are confirmed to cases in which the estimates are also consistent, then A* is indeed optimal.
