A hypergraph on a vertex type is a finite set of finite vertex sets (edges). A cover is a finite vertex set meeting every edge; a hypergraph is Intersecting if any two distinct edges share a vertex. A matching is a subfamily of pairwise disjoint edges, matchingNumber is the largest size of a matching (the supremum of the cardinalities of all matchings), and coverNumber is the least cardinality of a cover (the infimum of the set of cover sizes, which is 0 by convention if no cover exists). Uniform(r) says every edge has exactly r vertices, and PartiteUniform for a labelling part of vertices by an index type says every edge contains exactly one vertex with each label; RPartiteUniform(r) means that some labelling of the vertices by Fin r makes the hypergraph partite-uniform in this sense. The defined proposition Specification.ExplicitFailureAt(r) asserts that there exist a finite vertex type (in the lowest universe, with decidable equality) and a nonempty hypergraph on it such that r>0, the hypergraph is r-partite and r-uniform, intersecting, admits a cover, has matchingNumber equal to 1 and coverNumber equal to r, and satisfies (r−1)·matchingNumber < coverNumber. Given the other conditions this final inequality reads r−1<r, so it holds automatically for positive r; the proposition is a defined statement of a Ryser-type counterexample for rank r, not an established theorem.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
