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.

Multigraphs, loops and directed graphs as variants distinct from the default finite simple graph

Definition

A finite undirected multigraph consists of a finite vertex set V, a finite edge set M, and an endpoint map assigning to each e∈M either a singleton {v} or a two-element subset {u,v} of V. An edge assigned {v} is a loop at v. Distinct members of M assigned the same endpoint set are parallel edges.

A finite directed graph, or digraph, consists of a finite vertex set V and a set A⊆V×V of arcs. An arc (u,v) is directed from u to v; an arc (v,v) is a directed loop.

These objects are variants, not instances of the default graph convention in A finite simple graph is a finite vertex set together with a set of two-element vertex subsets and Unless stated otherwise, graph means finite, simple and undirected; orders, sizes and empty-set conventions are fixed here. A theorem stated merely for a graph therefore neither permits loops or parallel edges nor supplies directions to its edges.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
