Introduction to the probabilistic method

par Frédéric Havet


Date :30/06/09
Time :11:00
Location :Salle Lagrange Gris


The probabilistic method is one of the most powerful technics in combinatorics and in particular in graph theory. In the last twenty year, many new tools have been introduced leading to some major results. The aim of this seminar is to ride a small tour in the probabilistic method. We will start by presenting some basic tools (First Moment Method, Local Lemma, ...) and continue by more advanced ones (Concentration inequalities, semi-random method,...). All the presented tools will be explamplified by an application to graph colouring.
