Abstract

A combinatorial object (e.g., a graph, a hypergraph, or a 0/1 matrix) is called quasi-random if its global structure resembles that of a random object of the same density. Moreover, a regular partition is an approximation of a huge object by a small number of quasi-random objects. Regular partitions are a crucial tool in combinatorics, where the goal is to prove theorems about discrete structures. In this talk I will present algorithmic applications of (various types of) regular partitions.
