Brandon Schneider eff316ff3f wip: refined investigation script for Erdős–Gyárfás conjecture
Created refined investigation script for Erdős–Gyárfás conjecture
where previous test found no power-of-two cycles (conjecture holds: False).

Refinements:
- Regular graph construction (all vertices same degree)
- Exhaustive DFS cycle detection
- More samples per n (5 instead of 3)
- Extended n values [8, 10, 12, 14, 16]

Goal: Determine if previous negative result was due to random graph construction
or if regular graphs with exhaustive cycle detection find power-of-two cycles.

Script created: investigate_erdos_gyarfas_refined.py
Execution canceled by user - awaiting further instructions.

Refined Investigation of ErdősGyárfás Conjecture
=================================================
Investigate ErdősGyárfás Conjecture with refined methodology.
Conjecture: Every graph with minimum degree at least 3 contains a cycle
whose length is a power of two.
Previous test found no power-of-two cycles in random graphs.
This investigation uses refined graph construction and cycle detection.
