A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of two classical degree-sequence conditions for Hamiltonicity of a finite simple graph on n ≥ 3 vertices with degrees d₁ ≤ ⋯ ≤ dₙ. Chvátal's theorem (1972): if for every i < n/2, dᵢ ≤ i implies d_{n−i} ≥ n − i, then the graph is Hamiltonian (stated without sorting: if at least i vertices have degree at most i, then at least i + 1 vertices have degree at least n − i). Pósa's theorem (1962): if for every k with 1 ≤ k < (n − 1)/2 fewer than k vertices have degree at most k, and, for odd n, at most (n − 1)/2 vertices have degree at most (n − 1)/2, then the graph…
