In 2009\, Moser introduced a technique call ed entropy compression to provide efficient algorithms which construct obj ects that the Local Lemma guarantees to exist. Recently\, entropy compress ion has been used to develop more powerful versions of the Local Lemma whi ch provide existence proofs in settings where the original Local Lemma doe s not apply. I will illustrate this technique with applications to graph c olouring: (a) colouring triangle-free graphs\, and (b) frugal colouring\, where no colour can appear too many times in any neighbourhood.\n DTSTART:20170306T210000Z DTEND:20170306T220000Z LOCATION:room 1205\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Mike Molloy\, University of Toronto URL:/mathstat/channels/event/mike-molloy-university-to ronto-266718 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
