Frontier Exploration Parameters

In a different thread, someone advised to play with the parameters "discount" and "min_reward" in order to get a valid plan for the robot in Frontier Exploration. Can someone explain what is the meaning of these parameters? (and what does a reward mean, in general)

Add link to the package you are referring to. Just by reading the parameter names, I'm guessing they are some setting some values for the cost function which might be used by the program.
