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.
The Konigsberg bridges multigraph has four odd-degree vertices and no Euler trail
Example
Model the four land regions in the Konigsberg bridges problem by four vertices, with one multigraph edge for each of the seven bridges. The four vertex degrees are . Consequently no walk can cross every bridge exactly once.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The connected four-vertex, seven-edge Konigsberg multigraph with degrees .
Parallel bridges are distinct multigraph edges, and degree counts their incident ends (Degree in a multigraph, indegree and outdegree in a digraph, and their underlying connectivity).
A connected finite multigraph has an Euler trail exactly when it has zero or two odd-degree vertices (A connected finite undirected multigraph has an Euler trail if and only if it has zero or two odd-degree vertices; an open Euler trail occurs exactly in the two-vertex case).
Verification
Counting the bridge ends incident with the four land regions gives degrees , so all four vertices have odd degree.
Since four is neither zero nor two, [L1] rules out an Euler trail. Such a trail would be exactly a crossing of every bridge once.
