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.

Degree in a multigraph, indegree and outdegree in a digraph, and their underlying connectivity

Definition

Let MM be a finite undirected multigraph (Multigraphs, loops and directed graphs as variants distinct from the default finite simple graph). The degree degM(v)\deg_M(v) of a vertex vv is the number of incident edge ends: each nonloop edge incident with vv contributes one, and each loop at vv contributes two.

For a finite digraph D=(V,A)D=(V,A), the outdegree and indegree are

degD+(v)={(v,w)A:wV},degD(v)={(w,v)A:wV}.\deg_D^+(v)=|\{(v,w)\in A:w\in V\}|,\qquad\deg_D^-(v)=|\{(w,v)\in A:w\in V\}|.

A directed loop (v,v)(v,v) contributes one to each quantity. A digraph vertex is isolated when both degrees are zero. A multigraph vertex is isolated when its degree is zero.

The underlying undirected graph of a multigraph is obtained by deleting loops and replacing each nonempty parallel class by one simple edge. The underlying undirected graph of a digraph has an edge {u,v}\{u,v\} for distinct u,vu,v whenever (u,v)(u,v) or (v,u)(v,u) is an arc. A multigraph or digraph is weakly connected when this underlying graph is connected in the sense of Connected graphs and connected components defined by the existence of vertex paths. Thus the null graph is not weakly connected and a one-vertex underlying graph is connected.

These finite counts use The cardinality A\lvert A\rvert of a finite set, and the underlying objects use the simple-graph convention of A finite simple graph is a finite vertex set together with a set of two-element vertex subsets.
