The theorem states that, for a finite nonempty ground type α and a family F of subsets of α that is nonempty, is not the entire power set, and is increasing (any superset of a member of F is again in F), the fractional threshold qf(F) is at most 25·512⁴ times the integral threshold q(F). Here q(F) is the supremum of those p in [0,1] for which F is small: some family G of sets covers F, meaning every H in F contains a member of G, with total cost Σ_{S∈G} p^{|S|} at most 1/2. The fractional threshold qf(F) is the analogous supremum of p in [0,1] for which there is a weight function g from subsets of α to [0,1] such that every H in F has Σ_{S⊆H} g(S) ≥ 1 and the fractional cost Σ_S g(S)·p^{|S|} is at most 1/2. The theorem is admitted with sorry in the source and is not proved there.

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.
