Bollobás–Nikiforov conjecture

The work claims a complete proof of the original Bollobás–Nikiforov conjecture for every finite non-complete simple graph. More precisely, the Lean theorem `BN.lambda1_sq_add_lambda2_sq_le` proves λ1(G)2+λ2(G)2≤2(1−1ω(G))∣E(G)∣. \lambda_1(G)^2+\lambda_2(G)^2 \le 2\left(1-\frac{1}{\omega(G)}\right)|E(G)|. The development proves a stronger weighted spectral inequality. If BB is a real symmetric entrywise nonnegative matrix with zero diagonal, supported on the edges of GG, and F(B)F(B) is the sum of the squares of its two largest positive eigenvalues, then F(B)≤(1−1ω(G))∥B∥F2. F(B) \le \left(1-\frac{1}{\omega(G)}\right)\|B\|_F^2. The human-readable manuscript is still preliminary and is being rewritten and polished.
