A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of Theorem 1.2 of Cao, Chen, Jing and Shan with a weaker constant. overfull_of_critical: if a finite simple graph G is Δ-critical (connected, its line graph is not Δ(G)-colourable, and G − e is Δ(G)-edge-colourable for every edge e) and 3|V(G)| + 7δ(G) ≤ 4Δ(G) + 10, then G is overfull: |E(G)| > Δ(G)·⌊|V(G)|/2⌋. The article assumes 4Δ − 7δ ≥ 3n − 17; the hypothesis here is 4Δ − 7δ ≥ 3n − 10, stronger by 7, because two common-neighbour counts in the article's proof (Case 2 of Section 3 and the fork branch of Case 1) use one more unit of degree than is available…
