The Discharging Method

IMSc

The talk will be on "Discharging Method". This method has been extensively
used in the proof of Four Color Theorem. This is a useful tool to obtain desirable configurations (the structure of the graph with respect to the vicinity of a vertex or an edge) in sparse graphs. We will look at some simple examples to learn about the way to use it. The talk will be self-contained.
