Question 27306: Every Legal Split of a^p b^p Is Defeated by Pumping Down

Original question and givens

Use positive pumping length p=6 and adversary word a^p b^p. Give (p, adversary_word, all_legal_split_rows, split_count, triangular_count, every_split_defeated, pump_down_scope).

• G001 — Use positive pumping length p=6 and adversary word a^p b^p. Give (p, adversary_word, all_legal_split_rows, split_count, triangular_count, every_split_defeated, pump_down_scope).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
