[#R329] Exact isomorph-free sweep remains to be run

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

The corpus is fixed and the certificate format is specified; no universal LP sweep is claimed in this version.

For each graph6 record, the exact computation should perform these steps:

1. Decode the graph and compute its 28 integer shortest-path distances. 2. Enumerate the \(7!/2=2{,}520\) unoriented Hamilton cycles to obtain the exact tour value and a minimizing order. 3. Solve the subtour LP with eight degree equations and one representative of each complementary pair of nontrivial cut inequalities. Preserve a rational primal optimum and a rational dual optimum. 4. Verify both certificates with integer arithmetic after clearing denominators. Record every tied maximizer. 5. Recompute each maximizing graph's canonical graph6 label with an independent nauty call.

Reported evidence. Recorded scope: the unresolved exact optimization across all 11,117 connected graph isomorphism classes on eight vertices.

3Overview

The diameter-two cases can be pruned against the sourced \(18/17\) upper bound once an incumbent exceeds it. Bridges and articulation decompositions offer further reductions, though each reduction needs a proof for this exact degree-constrained metric LP.

This record stops before the 11,117 LP solves. It makes no claim that the cycle incumbent is optimal.
