Mathematical Sciences: The Probabilistic Method

该奖项支持J. Spencer教授的研究， 从事组合学研究 他打算调查是否某些 概率算法可以去随机化以给出确定性 一个 他还打算研究阈值函数和零一 随机结构的定律 该研究是在组合学的一般领域。 组合数学试图找到有效的方法来研究如何 可以组织对象的离散集合。 所以， 对现代通信非常重要，例如 大型网络的设计，如电话系统和 计算机科学中的算法

This award supports the research of Professor J. Spencer to work in combinatorics. He intends to investigate whether certain probabilistic algorithms can be derandomized to give deterministic ones. He also intends to study threshold functions and Zero-One laws for random structures. The research is in the general area of combinatorics. Combinatorics attempts to find efficient methods to study how discrete collections of objects can be organized. And, so it is extremely important to modern communications, for example the design of large networks as in telephone systems and the design of algorithms in computer science.
