OpenAI Solves 50-Year-Old Math Conjecture
ErnestRyu · x · 2026-07-12
- Background: OpenAI recently solved the Cycle Double Cover conjecture, a 50-year-old puzzle in graph theory.
- Technical Details: Scholars note the proof builds on Jaeger's nowhere-zero 8-flow theorem, using a clever method to assign two values to each edge before finalizing the derivation via linear algebra.
- Resources: The full proof text and the prompt used to generate it have been publicly shared.
