ConceptProbabilistic Method / Erdős概率方法
Probabilistic Method
A proof technique in combinatorics pioneered by mathematician Paul Erdős. It establishes the existence of a combinatorial object with a desired property by demonstrating that a randomly chosen object satisfies that property with positive probability, without constructing a specific example. The method is widely used in combinatorics and theoretical computer science.
