How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
A linearly large induced subgraph of a graph with few induced copies again has a linearly large restricted set
Statement
Fix a graph , a real , and a fraction . Then there exists such that whenever is a nonempty graph on vertices with and satisfies , the induced subgraph contains an -restricted set of size at least .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A graph , a real , and a real .
If has vertices, , , and , then (If has fewer than induced copies of and , then has fewer than ).
There is such that every nonempty graph with has an -restricted set of size at least (Nikiforov: for every and every there is such that every graph with has an -restricted vertex set of size at least ).
Proof
Let be the constant of [L2] for and , and set . Then , , and .
If and , then [L1] gives .
Applying [L2] inside yields an -restricted set of size at least . Since by step 1.1, this is the required set.
Depends on
- Nikiforov: for every $H$ and every $\epsilon\in(0,\tfrac12)$ there is $\delta>0$ such that every graph $G$ with $\operatorname{ind}_H(G)<(\delta|V(G)|)^{|V(H)|}$ has an $\epsilon$-restricted vertex set of size at least $\delta|V(G)|$
- If $G$ has fewer than $(\delta n)^h$ induced copies of $H$ and $|W|\ge\lambda n$, then $G[W]$ has fewer than $((\delta/\lambda)|W|)^h$
- Subgraphs, induced subgraphs and spanning subgraphs
- $c$-sparse, $c$-dense and $c$-restricted vertex sets
- A set is $c$-sparse exactly when the maximum degree of the graph it induces is at most $c$ times its size

Dependency tree · two levels
21 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
