Summary

Adds FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/114.lean — the Erdős–Herzog–Piranian (EHP) conjecture (#114) with a computationally certified small-n result.

  • erdos_114: Full open conjecture (all n)
  • erdos_114_small_n: Solved for 3 ≤ n ≤ 14 via IEEE 1788-rigorous interval arithmetic

Context

Moritz Firsching confirmed a standalone PR is welcome:
Zulip message

This PR is intentionally separate from #3422.

Certificates

Each n case is verified independently by branch-and-bound over the compact
parameter space of monic degree-n polynomials, with IEEE 1788-2015 certified
interval arithmetic bounds:

  • n = 3–12: Python/mpmath
  • n = 13–14: Rust/inari (MPFR-backed)

All results deposited with SHA-256 checksums:
doi:10.5281/zenodo.19322367

Future work

  • Uniqueness theorem (erdos_114_small_n_unique) as a follow-up
  • Extension to n = 15+ as compute budget allows

Formalize EHP conjecture statement with small-n solved tag (3 ≤ n ≤ 14). Separate from google-deepmind#3422.
