soda-related-work
Use when positioning a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) paper in the algorithms literature — tracing bound lineages across SODA/STOC/FOCS/ESA/ICALP and journals, handling arXiv-first priority culture, citing conference versus journal versions correctly, and self-citation under lightweight double-blind rules.

# SODA Related Work
Positioning at SODA is quantitative: the related-work section's job is to
establish, bound by bound, exactly where your result sits in a lineage the
referees already know. The most common positioning failure is not a missing
citation but a *mis-stated bound* — quoting a superseded conference version,
missing a stronger journal version, or comparing against the randomized bound
when a better deterministic one exists.
## The five lanes to sweep
| Lane | Where it lives | What referees check |
|---|---|---|
| Direct predecessors | SODA/STOC/FOCS/ESA/ICALP proceedings, arXiv | Is the displaced bound the true state of the art? |
