Toy theorem
text:
In mathematics, a toy theorem is a simplified instance of a more general theorem, which can be useful in providing a handy representation of the general theorem, or a framework for proving the general theorem. One way of obtaining a toy theorem is by introducing some simplifying assumptions in a theorem. In many cases, a toy theorem is used to illustrate the claim of a theorem, while in other cases, studying the proofs of a toy theorem can provide insight that would be hard to obtain otherwise.
