Probabilistic method is a way to prove existence of objects by counting: in a suitable probability space one shows that with nonzero probability we get the desired object. This class is a continuation of Probabilistic Techniques NTIN022 where the basic techniques were described. (The knowledge of those is necessary to follow this class.) In this class we will extend and deepen these techniques. The class is complementing (but not overlapping) with Probabilistic algorithms NDMI025.
Aim of the course -
Last update: doc. Mgr. Robert Šámal, Ph.D. (25.01.2023)

The students will learn to actively use advanced techniques in Probabilistic method.

Course completion requirements -
Last update: doc. Mgr. Robert Šámal, Ph.D. (14.02.2018)

For getting the credit from tutorials, the students are required to get at least 45 points from homework. The total number of available points will be at least 180. There is no provision for repeated attempts for the credit. Credit from tutorials is a necessary condition for an attempt to pass an exam.

The exam will be oral based on the contents of the lectures. Extra points gained by students by solving problems for tutorials will be considered in favor of the students.
