Abstract

Probabilistic methods have advanced the design of algorithms in algorithmic discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Many notoriously hard algorithmic problems have been solved with randomized algorithms or probabilistic methods, either optimally or in a satisfactory approximative way. One of the powerful tools in analyzing randomized approximation algorithms is the Lovász-Local-Lemma, a sieve method with many nice applications. In this article we show its impact on job shop scheduling and resource constrained scheduling.
