[#R548] Exact verifier for the 18/11 graph
1Summary
Standard-library Python computes the graph metric, follows the label tie rule, and checks all 181,440 unoriented tours.
The program builds the graph directly from its fourteen edges and computes all-pairs distances by breadth-first search. It then applies the stated nearest-neighbor rule, including the smaller-label tie break.
For the optimum it fixes vertex 0, identifies a tour with its reversal, and checks the remaining \(9!/2=181{,}440\) orders. The nearest-neighbor length is 18 and the optimum is 11. There are four optimal unoriented tours. The canonical report has SHA-256 digest `a1d0820ab4475898cee1a7eea91a8e73cd82003b4031aea2dd1c8f2e84f93801`.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: the displayed connected graph on vertices {0,...,9}, its deterministic nearest-neighbor tour, and all unoriented Hamiltonian tours in its shortest-path metric.
