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.
decomposed into three complete bipartite graphs, and no decomposition into two
Example
The complete graph has the edge decomposition
Facts & Assumptions
Given: the three complete bipartite graphs above.
Every complete bipartite decomposition of has at least parts (Graham–Pollak: a complete bipartite decomposition of has at least parts).
Verification
The three displayed graphs cover the edges ; then ; then , so every edge of is covered exactly once.
Hence has a complete bipartite decomposition with three parts. Since , [L1] says that no decomposition into two parts can exist.
Depends on
- Graham–Pollak: a complete bipartite decomposition of $K_n$ has at least $n-1$ parts
- A decomposition of a graph's edge set into complete bipartite subgraphs
- A finite simple graph is a finite vertex set together with a set of two-element vertex subsets
- The complete graph on an $n$-element vertex set has $\binom{n}{2}$ edges

Dependency tree · two levels
14 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.
