For every finite loopless undirected multigraph G with no bridges, there exists a multiset C of cycles in G such that every edge of G belongs to exactly two members of C, counted with multiplicity.
Assumptions
Finite undirected multigraph.
No loops and no bridges.
Parallel edges and repeated cycles in the cover are allowed.
Scope
Universal existence. The cited 2026 proof and formal endpoint are reported by their sources; independent mathematical assessment is pending.
The project reports an unconditional proof endpoint using only standard logical axioms. It is linked as source evidence while mathematical assessment of the new proof remains pending.
