| | | | | The ``probabilistic method'' is the art of applying probabilistic thinking to non-probabilistic problems. Applications of the probabilistic method often feel like magic. Here is my favorite example: Theorem (Erdös, 1965). Call a set $latex {X}&fg=000000$ sum-free if for all $latex {a, b \in X}&fg=000000$, we have $latex {a + b \not\in X}&fg=000000$. For any finite... | |

| | | | | Eyal Lubetzky and I just finished and uploaded to the arXiv our new paper On the variational problem for upper tails of triangle counts in sparse random graphs. This paper concerns the following question: The upper tail problem for triangles. What is the probability that the number of triangles in an Erd?s-Rényi graph graph $latex... | |

| | | | | Define the Ramsey number $ R(k,m)$ to be the minimum number $ n$ of vertices required of the complete graph $ K_n$ so that for any two-coloring (red, blue) of the edges of $ K_n$ one of two things will happen: There is a red $ k$-clique; that is, a complete subgraph of $ k$... | |

| | | There's a good chance that you're reading this article over a wifi connection. And if you are, it's quite likely that from time to time, your wifi network doesn't perform as well as you'd like. But there are some very simple steps you can take to make it better. We often think of wifi networks... | ||
