Further detail
In Spring 2019 we will be covering selected topics from `The Probabilisitic Method’, by Alon and Spencer. We will meeting on Mondays at 4pm in Lecture Theatre C. We will cover the following topics: Dependent Random Choice, Janson’s inequality, Clique number of random graphs, Chromatic number of random graphs, Rödl Nibble, Independence number of triangle-free graphs, Quasirandom graphs, Containers and list colouring. 0 upcoming talks and 39 talks in the archive. Probabilistic existence of expander graphs
Dynamic programming using a tree decomposition
Tree-decompositions and forbidden Minors
Markov chains and electrical networks: applications
Markov chains and electrical networks: fundamental correspondence
Lower bounds: bottlenecksNote: Reading group starts at 13 instead of 14
Upper bounds III: the method of canonical paths
Upper bounds II: transportation metric, path couplings
The notion of the mixing time. Upper bounds using the coupling method
Total variation distance, couplings, the convergence theorem
Fundamental notions of the theory of Markov chain - examples
