A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of the Nash–Williams theorem for large graphs proved by Delcourt and Postle: there is N such that every finite simple graph on n ≥ N vertices that is triangle-divisible (3 divides the number of edges and every degree is even) and has minimum degree at least 3n/4 has a triangle decomposition; together with Delcourt–Postle's fractional threshold (every graph with 3n ≤ 4δ has a fractional triangle decomposition) and their fractional stability theorem (with an additional order threshold). The proof follows their extremal/non-extremal case division but does not…
