[#R139] Classical graph-property results concern depth rather than this six-vertex leaf count

claim. The edge-query model is classical, while the exact value 1,693 was not located in the published sources searched.

1Summary

Rivest and Vuillemin study graph properties through adaptive adjacency queries and prove a quadratic worst-case query lower bound for every nontrivial monotone graph property. Kahn, Saks, and Sturtevant develop the topological evasiveness method and prove the prime-power vertex case of the evasiveness conjecture. Those results measure maximum root-to-leaf depth.

Chattopadhyay, Dahiya, Mande, Radhakrishnan, and Sanyal define deterministic decision-tree size as the minimum number of leaves and study it for general Boolean functions. Their subcube viewpoint matches the finite recurrence used here. A search of these sources and related graph-property literature found no tabulation of the six-vertex connectivity leaf minimum. The value 1,693 is therefore supported here by a complete finite certificate.

Supported evidence. Recorded scope: graph-property decision-tree and Boolean decision-tree size literature reviewed through 2026-07-24.
