Erdős problems and equational laws
Open statements settled by a Lean proof or a finite counterexample (placeholder)
Problems
Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.
Matching problems
Ramsey numbers and SAT certificates
Colourings that raise lower bounds, and SAT certificates that lower upper bounds (placeholder)
Wilf's conjecture on numerical semigroups
Find a numerical semigroup with e(S)·n(S) < c(S), refuting Wilf's 1978 conjecture, or prove it; it holds for all semigroups with up to 60 gaps.
