Various methods are used to reduce problems of interest to ones that are amenable to solution by such software. We develop a framework for designing and applying such reductions, using the Lean programming language and interactive proof assistant. Formal verification makes the process more reliable, and the availability of an interactive framework and ambient mathematical library provides a robust environment for constructing the reductions and reasoning about them.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.09347v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.09347v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"verified-reductions-for-optimization","repo_url":"https://github.com/verified-optimization/cvxlean","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
