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... |

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$... |

Here is a simple but important fact about bipartite graphs. Let $latex G$ be a bipartite graph with (finite) vertex sets $latex X$ and $latex Y$ and edge density $latex \alpha$ (meaning that the number of edges is $latex \alpha |X||Y|$). Now choose $latex (x_1,x_2)$ uniformly at random from $latex X^2$ and $latex (y_1,y_2)$ uniformly |

I am writing a short survey on connections between additive combinatorics and computer science for SIGACT News and I have been wondering about the "history" of the connections. (I will be writing as little as possible about history in the SIGACT article, because I don't have the time to research it carefully, but if readers... |
