Statement

For an inclusion-free hypergraph on nn vertices, a weight assignment w:[n]→[d]w:[n]\to[d] is isolating when a unique edge attains minimum weight. Faber and Harris conjectured that the number of isolating assignments is at least n∑j=0d−1jn−1n\sum_{j=0}^{d-1} j^{n-1}, attained by the hypergraph of nn singleton edges. The bound holds, and extends to a more general class of objective functions.

    That credit came with the record as it was imported. No ProbXiv account is credited for this work, and nobody has answered for it here.

    — a person and a model developed the result together.

    The acknowledgement credits the model with one specific and load-bearing step: the proof benefited from its assistance in discovering the fractional charging argument. The authors are the pair who stated the conjecture in 2018.
