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.
The graph has the Erdős-Hajnal property
Statement
The graph has the Erdős-Hajnal property.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The graph .
Every graph on at most three vertices has the Erdős-Hajnal property (Every graph on at most three vertices has the Erdős–Hajnal property).
The graph has the Erdős-Hajnal property (The five-cycle has the Erdős-Hajnal property).
Substitution of graphs is defined by replacing one vertex of a graph by a second graph and inheriting the original adjacency pattern (Substituting one graph for a vertex of another).
Substitution preserves the Erdős-Hajnal property (Alon–Pach–Solymosi: if and have the Erdős–Hajnal property, so does the graph obtained from by substituting for a vertex).
If has vertices and one substitutes for , then the new graph consists of the rim together with the remaining vertex adjacent to every rim vertex. This is exactly the five-wheel .
Proof
By [L1], the two-vertex graph has the Erdős-Hajnal property, and by [L2] so does .
By [F1] and [L3], the graph is obtained by substituting for one vertex of . Therefore [L4] applies to the two graphs of step 1.1 and gives the Erdős-Hajnal property for .
Depends on
- The graphs $H_0,H_1,\ldots,H_5$

Dependency tree · two levels
34 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.
