| Nov 29, 2017 at 1:33 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | @Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine: My advisor taught me to cite everything which is not included in standard undergraduate and graduate courses on the subject. So that the paper is accessible to an graduate student in the area. | |
| Nov 28, 2017 at 23:08 | comment | added | Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine | As R. van Dobben de Bruyns’s answer addresses, “cite everything which you do not” is almost literally impossible. Presumably you mean “everything non-trivial” or “everything not totally standard”… but then placing the lines for these comes down to OP’s original question again. | |
