Spectral Expansion Routing Lemma
Expander and Ramanujan graph constructions provide sparse graph families with strong connectivity properties useful for robust network topology design.
Assumptions
- Graph family and regularity are specified.
- Spectral gap or eigenvalue bound is stated.
- Routing/security interpretation is separated from pure graph theorem.
Proof Obligations
- Map pure graph property to DFT routing layer.
- Define adversarial partition model.
- Distinguish conductance from cryptographic security.
- Simulate failure and partition scenarios.
Claim Boundary
Established graph-theoretic references may be cited, but DFT-specific routing/security claims require separate modeling and validation.
