Ramsey numbers and SAT certificates
Colourings that raise lower bounds, and SAT certificates that lower upper bounds (placeholder)
Ramsey numbers and SAT certificates
Placeholder. This problem is here so the problem panel can be tried out. Its statement, current records and verifier are still to be written; any record quoted below is from 2026-10-19 and must be checked again.
Problem
Lower bounds come from explicit colourings, checked in milliseconds; upper bounds from symmetry-broken SAT encodings with DRAT or VeriPB certificates, checked by a light verifier. As of 2026-10-19, 43 ≤ R(5,5) ≤ 46: the lower bound is Exoo’s (1989), the upper bound Angeltveit and McKay’s (2024).
