MATH-467: Probabilistic methods in combinatoricsThe 'probabilistic method' is a fundamental tool in combinatorics. The basic idea is as follows: to prove that an object (for example, graph) with certain properties exists, it suffices to prove that if the object is chosen at random, then it has the desir ...
