Cycle–clique Ramsey numbers
OpenAI
Abstract
We prove that for every pair of integers other than , for which . This establishes the cycle–clique conjecture of Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp. The proof combines expansion in a minimal counterexample with a large-clique lemma and an optimization of paths joining clique vertices. These arguments reduce the remaining cases to finite parameter-pattern instances, which are excluded by two exact implementations of proved inference rules. Complete programs and deduction traces accompany the paper.
