To be a tree of minimum weight for a cover
Definition cover_min (l : list (btree A)) (t1 : btree A) : Prop :=
  cover l t1 /\
  (forall t2 : btree A, cover l t2 -> weight_tree f t1 <= weight_tree f t2).

Minimum tree for a singleton cover
Theorem cover_min_one : forall t : btree A, cover_min (t :: []) t.
Proof.
intros t; split; auto.
intros t2 H; inversion H; auto.
generalize (Permutation_length H0); simpl in |- *; intros; discriminate.

Local Hint Resolve cover_min_one : core.

Minimum trees are preserved by permutation
Theorem cover_min_permutation :
 forall (t : btree A) (l1 l2 : list (btree A)),
 cover_min l1 t -> Permutation l1 l2 -> cover_min l2 t.
Proof.
intros t l1 l2 H H0; split.
apply cover_permutation with (2 := H0); auto.
inversion H; auto.
intros t2 H1.
assert (cover l1 t2).
inversion H; auto.
apply cover_permutation with (2 := Permutation_sym H0); auto.
inversion H; auto.
Qed.

For all covers, there is a minimum tree
Theorem cover_min_ex :
 forall l : list (btree A), l <> [] -> exists t : btree A, cover_min l t.
Proof.
intros l H;
 generalize (find_min_correct (btree A) (weight_tree f) (all_cover _ l)).
case (find_min (weight_tree f) (all_cover _ l)).
intros p; case p.
intros n b ((H1, H2), H3); exists b; auto.
split; auto.
apply all_cover_cover; auto.
intros t2 H4; apply H3.
apply cover_all_cover; auto.
intros H0.
case (one_cover_ex _ l); auto.
intros x H1; absurd (In x (all_cover A l)).
rewrite H0; simpl in |- *; red in |- *; intros H2; case H2.
apply cover_all_cover; auto.
