A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of Jaeger's 4-flow theorem: every finite 4-edge-connected simple graph has a nowhere-zero integer 4-flow, i.e. an antisymmetric function on darts with values in {±1, ±2, ±3} that is conserved at every vertex. Also proved: a graph with two edge-disjoint spanning trees has its edges covered by two even subgraphs (a nowhere-zero ℤ₂ × ℤ₂-flow) and has a nowhere-zero integer 4-flow. Version 2 adds Jaeger's 8-flow theorem: every finite bridgeless graph has its edges covered by three even subgraphs and has a nowhere-zero integer 8-flow; conversely a graph with a…
