Explanation legend Lean4 Domain Explanation Language (L4DEL)

L4DEL explanations are a separate layer. They do not change the Lean source. Intuition is explanatory prose; numbered items are a reading path; sources link the wording back to evidence.

    WOWII Conjecture 34

    For a simple connected graph $G$, $\operatorname{path}(G) \ge \lceil \operatorname{dist}_{\operatorname{avg}}(C, V)

    • \operatorname{dist}_{\operatorname{avg}}(M, V) \rceil$, where $\operatorname{path}(G)$ is the number of vertices of a largest induced path of $G$, $C$ is the set of center vertices (those with minimum eccentricity), $M$ is the set of maximum-degree vertices, and $\operatorname{dist}\_{\operatorname{avg}}(S, V)$ is the average of all nonzero distances $\operatorname{dist}\_G(s, v)$ with $s \in S$ and $v \in V$.

    The conjecture is false. Let $G$ be the tree on $39$ vertices formed by a vertex with three pendant leaves, joined by a path of five edges to the root of a perfect binary tree of depth four. Then $\operatorname{path}(G) = 11$, while $C$ and $M$ are singletons whose distance sums are $154$ and $266$, so the bound is $\lceil (154 + 266) / 38 \rceil = 12$.
