For n≥7 and r between consecutive thresholds r_k(n) and r_(k−1)(n), the k-isolated cut C_k is globally maximum.

Status is community- and machine-tracked and may lag. Verify independently before investing effort.

Statement

For n≥7 and r between consecutive thresholds r_k(n) and r_(k−1)(n), the k-isolated cut C_k is globally maximum. Open residue: Exhaustive through n=21; near-isolated checks through n=100.

Assessment

Renown 1/5

Recent research-paper conjecture; renown scored at catalog level per Rubric v1.

Attackability 5/5

All 2^(n−1) cuts were exhausted through n=21 and local verification reaches n=100; the objective is exact and parameterized.

Verification note

Enumerate cuts or solve parametric MILPs, deriving the exact upper envelope of cut-weight polynomials. — Current arXiv revision checked; source-stated open/partial. Independent literature and author confirmation still required. Editorially screened candidate; not independently certified open. Author confirmation pending.
