Conjecture 1.6 of Cho–Choi–Park (arxiv/2107.00295), formalized in this file as independentDominationEven and independentDominationOdd, has been proved in the literature.

Eun-Kyung Cho, Jinha Kim, Minki Kim and Sang-il Oum, Independent domination of graphs with bounded maximum degree, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 158 (2023), 341–352 (arxiv/2202.09594, doi:10.1016/j.jctb.2022.10.004) prove, as Corollary 1.3: every graph $G$ with maximum degree at most $\Delta$ and no isolated vertices has an independent dominating set of size at most $\left(1 - \frac{\Delta}{\lfloor (\Delta+2)^2/4 \rfloor}\right)\lvert V(G)\rvert$. The paper states that this corollary "was conjectured by Cho, Choi, and Park".

Expanding the floor by parity: for even $\Delta = D$, $\lfloor (D+2)^2/4 \rfloor = (D+2)^2/4$, and the bound becomes $(D+2)^2 \cdot i(G) \le (D^2+4) \cdot n$; for odd $\Delta = D$, $\lfloor (D+2)^2/4 \rfloor = (D+1)(D+3)/4$, and it becomes $(D+1)(D+3) \cdot i(G) \le (D^2+3) \cdot n$ — exactly the two statements in this file.

This PR flips both tags to research solved and records the reference in the module and declaration docstrings, following the pattern of #4628. Proof bodies are left as sorry (no formalization of the proof is claimed).

@guelmi94 could you review this? (Adding you because you originally added this conjecture..)
