Precise statement
Boots and Royle, and independently Cao and Vince, conjectured that the join of an edge with a path on $n-2$ vertices is the unique planar graph of maximum adjacency spectral radius for every $n \ge 9$. Tait and Tobin proved it for sufficiently large $n$ in 2017; the conjecture now holds for all $n \ge 9$.

The declaration credits the model with generating the code that searched for extremal planar graphs, and with assisting in several computations and symbolic derivations, alongside language polishing.
