@henryquantum @gregrosent Unfortunately, it turned out that there was a bug in Lemma 2.1, and the overall proof isn't correct. We've withdrawn the paper from the arXiv and are thinking about how to fix it.

@DulwichQuantum Something I particularly like about this example is that the objective function the author has chosen can be minimised using a greedy algorithm :)

@Jun_Gitef17 @fortnow I agree this isn't an obvious assumption! But empirically, it seems to me that LLMs already do a decent job of explaining existing scientific papers. But none (to my knowledge) has come up with a breakthrough result itself.

@DanNeidle Thank you for this. Do you think it's possible that some responders felt that the question was asking about an unanticipated "trap" / cliff edge of moving into a higher income band (like removal of child tax credits) given you've written about this?
