18.217 Graph Theory and Additive Combinatorics

18.217 Graph Theory and Additive Combinatorics (Fall 2019, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Yufei Zhao. This course examines classical and modern developments in graph theory and additive combinatorics, with a focus on topics and themes that connect the two subjects. The course also introduces students to current research topics and open problems. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 06 - Szemeredi's Graph Regularity Lemma I: Statement and Proof

Szemeredi's graph regularity lemma is a powerful tool in graph theory that gives a rough structural characterization of all large dense graphs. In this lecture, Professor Zhao explains the statement and proof of the regularity lemma.
