Speaker: Abraham Flaxman Time: Wednesday 12-1pm Place: NSH 1507 Title: Handy distributions for average-case anaylsis Abstract: Since I managed to sneak in practice for my job talk at a Theory Lunch last month, (thanks for the feedback everybody!), I will regale you with an informal survey of some of the many distributions for random graphs and other structures that have been popular in average-case analysis of combinatorial algorithms.
