LeanPool.ACMax.UpperBound

Universal upper bound #

algConn_le_two_of_card: every simple graph on Fin n with exactly 2(n-2) edges has algebraic connectivity at most 2.

This statement is Conjecture 1.5 of T. Kolokolnikov, Maximizing algebraic connectivity for certain families of graphs (Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2015; arXiv:1412.6147): the complete bipartite graph K_{2,n-2} maximizes algebraic connectivity among all n-vertex graphs with 2(n-2) edges. This library proves the conjecture, sorry-free and axiom-clean, for every n ≥ 4. The result below is the upper-bound component of the direct two-range assembly in Band.Final: the low-order proof handles 4 ≤ n ≤ 31, and the incidence-capacity and exact Moore arguments jointly handle n ≥ 32.
