Shannon capacity of C₅: The independence number of the 5-th tensor power of C₅ gives the capacity √5. Proved by Lovász (1979) using the theta function, introducing semidefinite programming to combinatorics. Exact capacity of C₇ is still unknown.

        (∀ i j : Fin n, i ≠ j →
          (ind i).val = (ind j).val ∨ (ind i).val + 1 ≡ (ind j).val [MOD 5]) →

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.
