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.
Generalized nice finite graph families
Definition
Let be a finite family of finite graphs, and write
for the family of complements (Graph isomorphisms, automorphisms and graph complements).
We say that is generalized nice if there exist real constants
such that for every -free graph (-free and -free graphs under the induced-subgraph convention) and every , at least one of the following holds:
- has an -blockade (Blockades, their length, their width, and their support) whose distinct block pairs are either complete or weakly -sparse (Sparsity of one vertex set to another, and weak sparsity of a pair);
- has a clique or stable set of size at least (Cliques, stable sets, the clique number and stability number );
- has a complete or anticomplete -blockade with ; or
- has an -restricted induced subgraph of size at least (-sparse, -dense and -restricted vertex sets).
This is the Section 3 replacement for the earlier "nice" condition: the first alternative still produces a long blockade, but the other three alternatives already package the three reduction outcomes that will be iterated later on the page.
Depends on
- Blockades, their length, their width, and their support
- $c$-sparse, $c$-dense and $c$-restricted vertex sets
- Cliques, stable sets, the clique number $\omega(G)$ and stability number $\alpha(G)$
- Sparsity of one vertex set to another, and weak sparsity of a pair
- Graph isomorphisms, automorphisms and graph complements
- $H$-free and $\mathcal F$-free graphs under the induced-subgraph convention

Dependency tree · two levels
19 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.
