A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of the proof by Sanjana Das and Jacob Fox of the Murty–Simon conjecture (arXiv:2610.39032, 2026). A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is 2 and deleting any edge increases the diameter. Theorem 1.1: every diameter-2-critical graph on n vertices has at most ⌊n²/4⌋ edges (murty_simon), and a diameter-2-critical graph with ⌊n²/4⌋ edges is isomorphic to K_{⌈n/2⌉,⌊n/2⌋} (murty_simon_equality). Also: for n ≥ 3, K_{⌈n/2⌉,⌊n/2⌋} is diameter-2-critical with ⌊n²/4⌋ edges, so the bound is attained (murty_simon_sharp); Lemma 1.2, |E(G) \ M| ≤ |non-edges of G|…
