Abstract

Due to a recent revision of Hales's proof of the Kepler Conjecture, the existing verification of the central graph enumeration procedure had to be revised because it now has to cope with more than 109 graphs. This resulted in a new and modular design. This paper primarily describes the reusable components of the new design: a while combinator for partial functions, a theory of worklist algorithms, a stepwise implementation of a data type of sets over a quasi-order with the help of tries, and a plane graph isomorphism checker. The verification turned out not to be in vain as it uncovered a bug in Hales's graph enumeration code.
