StrongThinTree

Definition

A MultiGraph on n vertices (Fin n) with m edges (Fin m) assigns each edge e a left endpoint and a right endpoint, both vertices, required to be different, so there are no loops but parallel edges are allowed. For a set T of edges and a vertex set S, cut(T,S) is the set of edges of T with exactly one endpoint in S. Connected(T) means that every nonempty proper subset S of the vertices is crossed by at least one edge of T. SpanningTree(T) means T is Connected and is minimal with this property: removing any single edge of T destroys connectedness. EdgeConnected(k) means that every nonempty proper vertex subset S is crossed by at least k edges of the whole edge set, that is, |cut(univ,S)| ≥ k. MainStatement is a defined proposition, not an established theorem. It asserts that there is a real constant C>0 such that for every integer k≥1, every n≥2 and every m, and every multigraph G on n vertices and m edges that is k-edge-connected, there exists a spanning tree T of G such that for every nonempty proper vertex subset S, the number of tree edges crossing S is at most (C/k) times the number of edges of G crossing S.

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.
