@wizzwizz4 Did you fully understand the two examples of 4 coloring planar graphs?

Why do I not divide the rational exponents to get $x^{20}y^{16/7}$ from simplifying $\frac{\left(x^5y^{8/3}\right)^{1/4}}{x^{1/16}y^{7/24}}$?

shouldn't I bve able to see math formulas

Mathematical formulas posted by others are not rendered from TeX to Print

my page is not converting TeX to readable print. What can I do?
Wed 22:01
Consider it slave labour.

@ Otaku, Yes High school students may have a quired math project to do. I think they would like this.
Wed 15:16
OK I understand the generaly accepted def,
Wed 15:15
It can still be peer reviewed by the broeder community outside academia.
Wed 15:13
It depends on what you mean by peer?
Wed 15:12
What does publishing mean?
Wed 15:11
Huh?
Wed 15:11
We can just work out a few examples. viXra will publish it.
Wed 15:10
If you want we can publish papers togethr
Wed 15:03
We can put them to work doing real research.
Wed 15:03
Even High school students could do this.
Wed 15:03
There is a program available for testing with a set of instructions to see if it works . I think a ton of examples will elucidate the correctness or lack therof the algorithm.
Wed 15:01
I find that a little challenging, better to break the algorithm into well defined components and deal with them separately. I don't know the capabilities of computer proof assistants, But at this point I'm more concerned about the efficacy and correctness of the algorithm in finding proper colorings. Once that is establish and understood it will be time to attempt a proof.
Wed 14:54
You know when youve done them correctly whem propertys A,B are satisfied. very easy to check
Wed 14:53
@wizzwizz4 The intermediate step would be fiinding a generalized alternating chain ( a couple of chains of 2 or 3 length appear at some points in the examples). the chains could be more complicated but should be easy to find even tho they might have self intersections and. This is the magic of property B. However I now believe it might much easier than I had originaly thought. because it might be possible to eliminate all branching chains, with simple chains.
Wed 14:46
@wizz its only half an algorithm as only the main steps are given, but intermediate steps are missing, but I think they can be easily supplied. I think it might be in fact very easy.

Hi
Wed 11:33
Wizzwizz, are you AI?
Wed 11:31
I should say that each edge is conflict free wrt the checkers on that edge.
Wed 11:25
Were trying to prove the four color theorem
Wed 11:24
this is true for all colors.
Wed 11:24
Actually we say that all edges are unconflicted wrt any color because There is no edge with a ( lets use red) red checker on it and a red checker on both ends.color say Red
Wed 11:21
This means that edge 1-6 is unconflicted wrt. green
Wed 11:21
And a Green checker is placed on edge 1-6
Wed 11:20
on figure 3 the green checker on vertex 6 is removed
Wed 11:19
this indicates that the green checker on vertex 1 is pressuring the green checker on vertex 6
Wed 11:18
arrow from vertex 1 to vertex 6
Wed 11:16
OK let me fingd the graph now
Wed 11:16
on fig 2 there is an arrow from
Wed 11:15
This is the situation on fig 1 of the second paper I showed you
Wed 11:13
Ok Start off with no checkers on any edge, but checkers of all 4 colors on each vertex
Wed 11:12
its not hard at all.
Wed 11:12
I understand the algorithm, the idea of it
Wed 11:11
there is a program you can download which will run the instructions
Wed 11:10
Yes but before a program we can learn much by just implementing a sety of instructions
Wed 11:08
That should give us a ghood idea
Wed 11:08
I think so . I think the thing to do first is a lot of examples as is done in the papers
Wed 11:04
look at properties A and B. They are always maintained at each majoe itteration
Wed 11:03
The algorithm itself is interesting irregardless of proof
