Summary

Batch verification of 34 reduction rules from issue #770 that are type-compatible and implementable as ReduceTo. Each produces Typst proofs, dual Python verification scripts (constructor + adversary), and test vectors JSON for downstream /add-reduction.

See verification methodology comment for what the checks verify.

Verified — implementable as ReduceTo (34)

…FUTED

The proposed reduction from issue #822 (element chain + selector membership
arcs, B=3) is incorrect. Systematic testing over 6808+ checks shows that
NO X3C instances map to YES AcyclicPartition instances (959 infeasible
violations). Minimum-K analysis confirms the YES/NO ranges overlap
completely, so no threshold K can separate feasible from infeasible
instances. The root cause is that the arc structure cannot enforce which
elements group with which selectors.

…ces VERIFIED

Implement and verify the Manders-Adleman (1978) reduction from 3-SAT to
Quadratic Congruences. The reduction encodes clause satisfaction via base-8
arithmetic, lifts constraints through CRT with carefully chosen primes, and
produces a single quadratic congruence x^2 = a (mod b) with bound x < c.

Verification is algebraic rather than brute-force because the reduction
produces numbers with thousands of bits even for n=3. The forward direction
constructs x from a satisfying assignment via the alpha_j -> theta_j chain
and confirms x^2 = a mod b. The backward direction extracts alpha_j from x
and recovers the assignment. UNSAT verification exhaustively checks that no
knapsack solution exists.

Artifacts:
- k_satisfiability_quadratic_congruences.typ (proof document)
- verify_k_satisfiability_quadratic_congruences.py (constructor, 42k+ checks)
- adversary_k_satisfiability_quadratic_congruences.py (adversary, 33k+ checks)
- test_vectors_k_satisfiability_quadratic_congruences.json

What the verification checks are

Each reduction is verified by two independent Python scripts — a constructor and an adversary — that must agree on all tested instances.

Constructor script (7 mandatory sections)

Section What it verifies
1. Symbolic (sympy) Overhead formulas hold algebraically for general n (e.g., num_vertices = 2n + 3m verified as a symbolic identity)
2. Exhaustive forward+backward For all source instances with n ≤ 5: source feasible ⟺ target feasible. Both sides brute-force solved independently.
3. Solution extraction Given a feasible target witness, extract_solution() produces a valid source solution. Tested on every feasible instance found in Section 2.
4. Overhead formula Build target instance, measure actual sizes (vertices, edges, constraints), assert they match the overhead formulas
5. Structural properties Target is well-formed — e.g., graph is simple, no self-loops, gadget has correct girth, DAG is acyclic, weights are positive
6. YES example Reproduces the exact feasible example from the Typst proof with concrete numbers
7. NO example Reproduces the exact infeasible example from the Typst proof, verifying why it's infeasible (e.g., all 81 assignments checked)

Adversary script (independent reimplementation)

Component Purpose
Own reduce() Same reduction algorithm, coded from scratch by reading only the Typst proof — not the constructor code
Own extract_solution() Independent extraction logic
Own feasibility validators is_feasible_source() and is_feasible_target() written independently
Exhaustive forward+backward Same property as constructor, different code paths
hypothesis PBT Property-based testing with ≥ 2 strategies (e.g., random sparse graphs + dense graphs, balanced + unbalanced partitions)
Typst example reproduction Both YES and NO examples verified independently
Cross-comparison Runs both scripts' reduce() on shared instances and asserts structurally identical outputs with 0 disagreements

What counts as "a check"

One check = one (instance, property) pair verified. For example:

  • Exhaustive on n=3 with 100 instances × 3 properties (forward, backward, extraction) = 300 checks
  • Overhead verification on 500 instances = 500 checks
  • Hypothesis generating 1000 random instances × 2 properties = 2000 checks

Each script requires ≥ 5,000 checks minimum. The variation in totals (6K to 435M) reflects problem complexity — identity reductions on boolean formulas enumerate cheaply, while gadget reductions on graphs produce large target instances that are expensive to brute-force solve.

Why two scripts?

A single implementation can have a consistent bug — e.g., both reduce() and is_feasible_target() share the same wrong assumption, making all tests pass despite a flawed reduction. Two independent implementations agreeing is much stronger evidence. In practice, several refutations in this batch (#846, #847, #843, #822, #370) were caught precisely because the adversary found counterexamples.

New verified: #368 (3SAT→Dir2CommodityIntegralFlow), #479 (3SAT→PreemptiveScheduling),
#553 (3SAT→QuadraticCongruences), #905 (3SAT→FeasibleRegisterAssignment),
#377 (Planar3SAT→MinGeometricConnDomSet)

New refuted: #370 (3SAT→DisjointConnectingPaths), #920 (3SAT→NonLivenessFreePetriNet),
#475 (RegisterSufficiency→SeqMinMaxCumulativeCost)

Type-incompatible (math correct but Min/Max→Or in codebase):
#198 (MVC→HamiltonianCircuit), #890 (MaxCut→OLA), #888 (OLA→RTA),
#894 (MVC→PartialFeedbackEdgeSet), #395 (Partition→KthLargestMTuple)
