Alphabeta MathHow 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 Bondy-Chvatal closure of a finite simple graph
Definition
Let be a finite simple graph on vertices. Repeatedly add an edge between nonadjacent vertices whenever their degrees in the current graph satisfy
Stop when no such pair remains. The resulting graph is the Bondy-Chvatal closure of , denoted . The edge addition in If nonadjacent in an -vertex graph satisfy , then adding preserves Hamiltonicity in both directions is the operation used at each stage. The fact that the terminal graph does not depend on the order of eligible additions is The Bondy-Chvatal closure is independent of the order of eligible edge additions ↗.
Depends on
- A finite simple graph is a finite vertex set together with a set of two-element vertex subsets
- Adjacency, incidence, open and closed neighbourhoods, vertex degree, minimum degree and maximum degree
- If nonadjacent $u,v$ in an $n$-vertex graph satisfy $\deg(u)+\deg(v)\ge n$, then adding $uv$ preserves Hamiltonicity in both directions

Dependency tree · two levels
5 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.
