Precise statement
WOW-284 asserts that the minimum dual degree of every connected graph of order at least three and girth at least five is at most the negative of its least distance eigenvalue. The paper refutes it with exact counterexamples of orders 38, 39, 40, 42 and 50, and develops a structural theory of the failure.
The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement
