چکیده
Today we will look at a matrix analog of the standard scalar Chernoff bounds. This matrix analog will be used in the next lecture when we talk about graph sparsification. While we’re more interested in the application of the theorem than its proof, it’s still useful to see the similarities and the differences of moving from the proof of the result for scalars to the same result for matrices. Scalar Chernoff bounds get used all over the place in theoretical computer science, so much so that one now sees the phrase ”By a standard application of Chernoff bounds...” without even seeing the theorem references or the random variables defined.

1.1 Max flow We start by reviewing the maximum flow problem. We are given as input an undirected graph G = (V,E); it will be convenient to think of the undirected edges as being directed arcs, so we let ~ E be an arbitrary orientation of edges in E. We also have as input a source vertex s ∈ V and a sink vertex t ∈ V . Normally we also have as input a capacity for each edge in E, but for simplic...

To begin, we first rigorously define the model. The cake itself is represented by the real interval [0, 1] and a piece of this cake is a finite union of disjoint intervals X ⊆ [0, 1]. Furthermore, each agent i has a valuation function Vi that represents his/her assessment of pieces of the cake. That is, Vi(X) = x states that the piece X has value x to i. We will assume such Vi have the followin...

The partial duplication model with parameters (p, t, t0, Gt0) where p ∈ (0, 1), t, t0 ∈ N, t ≥ t0, and Gt0 is an initial undirected graph is the probability distribution on undirected graphs Gt described by the following recursion: If t = t0, then Gt = Gt0 . Otherwise, select a graph Gt−1 = (Vt−1, Et−1) from the partial duplication model with parameters (p, t − 1, t0, Gt0) and construct Gt, ini...
