#### Details

    int clauses_of_weight(int wt, int set);

    Topform first_sos_clause(Clist lst);

Given a nonempty Clist, return the first clause. This does not remove the clause from any lists. (Call remove_from_sos(Topform) to do that.)

    void index_sos(Topform c, int set);

This routine updates the (private) index for extracting sos clauses.

    void insert_into_sos(Topform c, Clist sos, int set);

This routine appends a clause to the sos list and updates the (private) index for extracting sos clauses.

    Topform lightest_sos_clause(int set);

Return the first (oldest) of the lightest sos clauses. This does not remove the clause from any lists. (Call remove_from_sos(Topform, Clist) to do that.)

    void p_sos_dist(void);

    void p_sos_tree(void);

    void remove_from_sos(Topform c, Clist sos, int set);

This routine removes a clause from the sos list and updates the index for extracting the lightest and heaviest clauses.

    Topform worst_sos_clause(Clist sos, int method);

    int wt_of_clause_at(int set, double part);

Consider sos, ordered by weight. Assume 0 <= part <= 1; if not, we make it so. Return the weight of the clause at the part. If sos is empty, return INT_MAX.

    void zap_sos_index(void);

## Introduction

This package has routines for efficiently managing selection of the given clause from the Sos list when using the given-clause algorithm.

We use a private index to quickly find the first, shortest clause in Sos. Here are the routines to use under ordinary circumstances.

- insert_into_sos_lightest(Topform c, Clist sos);
- remove_from_sos_lightest(Topform c);
- extract_lightest_clause(Clist sos);
- extract_first_clause(Clist lst);

Here's how it works (you probably don't need to know this).

We use an auxiliary Clist "Lightest" so that we don't have to scan Sos each time we need a new given clause. At any given time, Lightest is either empty or contains all of the Sos clauses of minimum weight, in the same order as in Sos.

To insert a newly kept clause c into Sos: If c is the same weight as clauses in Lightest, append it to Lightest as well as to Sos. If c is heaaver than Lightest, append it to Sos only. If c is lighter than Lightest, remove all clauses from Lightest, (leaving Lightest empty), and append c to Sos.

To get the first, lightest clause: If Lightest is empty, build a new Lightest list. Now just take the first member of Lightest.

Good performance of this scheme depends on the assumption that the Lightest list is farily stable; that is, as we go from given clause to given clause, the weight of the lightest clauses doesn't change often.
