A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of the Kostochka–Thomason theorem, following the short proof of Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov. complete_minor_of_edges (their Theorem 1): there is d0 such that for every integer d ≥ d0, every nonempty finite simple graph with at least d·|V| edges has the complete graph K_t as a minor for every natural number t ≤ d / (10 √(ln d)). kostochka_thomason: there is a constant c > 0 such that for every integer d ≥ 2, every nonempty finite simple graph with at least d·|V| edges (average degree at least 2d) has a K_t minor for every t ≤ c·d / √(ln d). Minors are…
