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

The study of equitable coloring began with a conjecture of Erdos in 1964, and it was formally introduced by Meyer in 1973. An equitable $$k$$-coloring of a graph $$G$$ is a proper $$k$$-coloring of $$G$$ such that the sizes of the color classes differ by at most one. In 2003, Kostochka, Pelsmajer,... read more
