Maximizing Algebraic Connectivity with Edges: The Large Vertex Number Case

arXiv:2608.07360

Abstract

Kolokolnikov conjectured that, among all simple graphs on \(n\) vertices with exactly \(2(n-2)\) edges, the complete bipartite graph maximizes algebraic connectivity. This paper proves the conjecture. The underlying Lean~4 formalization was generated with MerLean and checked by the Lean kernel.
