A classical theorem of Johansson from 1996 asserts that $$\chi(G)=O(\Delta/\ln\Delta)$$ for triangle-free graphs $$G$$ of maximum degree $$\Delta$$. Johansson's original proof of this result was quite intricate and involved iterated applications of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma. Recently, Molloy has... read more

In stratified survey sampling, one divides a population into homogeneous subgroups and then draws samples from each subgroup independently. Stratification often permits accurate computation of statistics from a sample much smaller than required otherwise. One can stratify Markov chain Monte Carlo (... read more

Martingale optimal transport (MOT), a version of the optimal transport (OT) with an additional martingale constraint on transport’s dynamics, is an optimisation problem motivated by, and contributing to model-independent pricing problems in quantitative finance. Compared to the OT, numerical... read more
