Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of the theorem that every temporal clique on n vertices admits a temporal spanner with O(n log n) edges. A temporal clique is the complete graph on a finite vertex set whose edges carry natural-number time labels, locally injective (two edges sharing an endpoint have distinct labels); a temporal spanner is a set of edges in which every vertex reaches every other one by a journey with non-decreasing labels. The result is due to Casteigts, Peters and Schoeters (ICALP 2019, JCSS 2021); the formal proof follows the dismountability-only proof of Carnevale, Casteigts…
