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.
Rödl's theorem for a nonempty family of forbidden induced subgraphs
Statement
Let be a nonempty family of graphs and let . Then there exists such that every -free nonempty finite simple graph has an -restricted vertex set of size at least .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A nonempty family of graphs and a real .
A graph that is -free is -free for every (-free and -free graphs under the induced-subgraph convention).
For every graph and there is such that every nonempty -free graph has an -restricted set of size at least (Rödl: for every and every there is such that every nonempty -free graph has an -restricted vertex set of size at least ).
Proof
Choose any graph .
By [L2], there is a constant such that every nonempty -free graph has an -restricted set of size at least .
If is nonempty and -free, then [L1] makes it -free, so step 2.1 applies to .
Depends on
- Rödl: for every $H$ and every $\epsilon\in(0,\tfrac12)$ there is $\delta>0$ such that every nonempty $H$-free graph has an $\epsilon$-restricted vertex set of size at least $\delta|V(G)|$
- $H$-free and $\mathcal F$-free graphs under the induced-subgraph convention
- $c$-sparse, $c$-dense and $c$-restricted vertex sets

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
