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 Erdős–Hajnal property and each of its constants pass to hereditary subclasses

Statement

If $D \subseteq C$ are hereditary graph classes, then every Erdős–Hajnal constant for $C$ is one for $D$ . In particular, the Erdős–Hajnal property passes from $C$ to $D$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Hereditary graph classes $D \subseteq C$ and an Erdős–Hajnal constant $ϵ$ for $C$ .

[L1]

The constant condition says that every nonempty $G$ in the class satisfies $hom (G) \geq ∣ V (G) ∣^{ϵ}$ (The Erdős–Hajnal property and an Erdős–Hajnal constant for a hereditary graph class).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1givenL1

Every nonempty $G \in D$ also lies in $C$ , so [L1] gives $hom (G) \geq ∣ V (G) ∣^{ϵ}$ .

2.1step 1.1L1∎

Thus $ϵ$ is a constant for $D$ ; the existence assertion follows by retaining any constant of $C$ .

4 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.
