For all a,b≥3, R_ref(P_alt_a,C_mon_b)=floor((a−1)(b−1/2)).

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

Statement

For all a,b≥3, R_ref(P_alt_a,C_mon_b)=floor((a−1)(b−1/2)). Open residue: General a,b formula suggested by computed small cases.

Assessment

Renown 1/5

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

Verification note

Produce extremal colorings below the threshold and SAT-unsat certificates at the threshold. — 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.
