Assuming the claims on the left, the claim on the right holds — checked by the archive's pipeline. Proof code is not displayed here.
Description
Reduce satisfiability to not-all-equal clauses, then to Max Cut. Complementary literals are joined by an edge, and each clause contributes a triangle. Replacing each edge occurrence by a three-edge path yields a simple unweighted graph.
