Verified constructions and family curves

Solid curves are proved exact. Dashed curves are certified lower bounds from a distinguished element pair.

5 catalog points · 6 curve series

Finite certificates

Individually cataloged matroids

This is a certificate catalog, not the overall leaderboard; finite members of accepted families remain on their curves above.

Construction \(\overline{\alpha}\) Size Rank Discovery Verified field Status Open details

Infinite constructions

Every accepted family gets a curve.

Each page explains the construction, admissible parameters, plotted formula, proof scope, and whether its benchmark is attained or approached.

Collaborate

Open challenges

Beat the overall threshold on the nose, beat it in the limit, or improve a record with a verified finite-field representation.

Short, GitHub-authenticated forms

Contribute in one of two ways.

Choose a short issue form. GitHub supplies the account identity and public discussion; no fork, branch, JSON file, or pull request is required. Concrete claims are checked exactly, while family proofs receive mathematical review.

01

Automatically verifiable

Submit a concrete matroid

Give \(n\), \(r\), a claimed exact \(\overline{\alpha}\), and exactly one of: a matrix with its field, all bases, all circuits, or all hyperplanes. A matrix certificate over a finite field or \(\mathbb Q\) is optional when the primary description is combinatorial.

Mathematical review

Propose an infinite family

Define the parameterized construction, its plotted formula, supremum, attainment behavior, and proof. Small members are encouraged as reproducible evidence and may be submitted separately to the concrete verifier.

  • Automatic numeric threshold screening
  • Solid exact or dashed lower-bound curve
  • Public proof review in a GitHub issue
  • Discovery date, credits, and explicit AI disclosure

Exact verification is installed. The issue workflow reads the form as inert data, reconstructs the matroid, checks its axioms and claimed value, and posts an exact verification result with a challenge classification. Family limits receive numeric screening before human proof review. Nothing submitted by a contributor is executed. Read the submission guide.

Verification language

Exact claims stay separate from lower bounds.

The site records the unweighted invariant \(\overline{\alpha}(M)=\max_{i\ne j} |B^{ij}(M)|\,|B_{ij}(M)|/ (|B^i_j(M)|\,|B^j_i(M)|)\). See the definitions, family proofs, and representability argument on the mathematics page.

Solid curve

Exact family value

The proof identifies an attaining pair and shows that no other eligible pair has a larger ratio.

Dashed curve

Certified lower bound

A distinguished pair is evaluated exactly, but it has not yet been proved to maximize the full invariant.

Catalog point

Automatic exact check

The finite matroid is reconstructed and every eligible pair is enumerated by trusted verifier code.
