Hello MHB,
Although chat room isn't meant for math related discussions I didn't any subforum better suited for my query.
Here's the thing.
Many times journals have published new proofs for well known theorems. Example the transcendence of $\pi$ or say the Hall's Marriage Theorem.
Suppose I find a new proof of some old theorem too. How would I make sure that my proof if actually new? Since before sending it for publication I'd want to be sure that I am not wasting anybody's time.
