Home›Combinatorics and Graph Theory›Proved ByBrowse ByProved ByProved by credits the mathematician whose proof actually settled a theorem. Wikipedia notes Andrew Wiles's proof was described as "a stunning advance" in the citation for Wiles's Abel Prize award in 2016, recognition that came two decades after the proof itself. This dimension connects a theorem to the person who finally proved it true.FactsProved BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra Of EmergenceWell-attested1950 1Proved ByFilter Results55 entriesBranchAllCoding Theory (1)Combinatorics (26)Computational Complexity Theory (1)Geometry (1)Graph Theory (27)Group Theory (2)Linear Algebra (2)Logic and Foundations (1)Number Theory (2)Set Theory (1)Topic AreaAllCombinatorics of Computing and Classification (1)Enumerative, Additive and Algebraic Combinatorics (21)Graph Theory (30)Ramsey Theory and Extremal Combinatorics (6)ProvedAll1736 (1)1847 (1)1860 (1)1878 (2)1890 (1)1891 (1)1897 (2)1916 (1)1922 (1)1927 (3)1928 (1)1930 (2)1935 (2)1936 (1)1937 (1)1939 (1)1940 (1)1941 (2)1946 (2)1948 (1)1949 (2)1950 (1)1952 (1)1954 (2)1955 (1)1956 (1)1957 (1)1958 (2)1960 (3)1961 (3)1964 (1)1968 (3)1970 (1)1971 (1)1972 (2)1973 (1)1974 (1)1975 (2)1978 (1)1982 (1)1990 (1)1994 (1)2002 (2)2004 (2)2019 (1)Named AfterAllArthur Cayley (1)Edgar Gilbert (1)Niels Henrik Abel (1)Statement FormAllCharacterization (16)Equation (16)Existence Theorem (18)Identity (16)Impossibility Theorem (2)Inequality (16)Uniqueness Theorem (1)Proved By (Other Fields)AllGustav Kirchhoff (1)Major PrizeAllAbel Prize (2)Wolf Prize (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareRonald FisherProved By1 entryVadim G.
