On Wormald's differential equation method
Abstract
This note contains a short and simple proof of Wormald's differential equation method (that yields slightly improved approximation guarantees and error probabilities). This powerful method uses differential equations to approximate the time-evolution/dynamics of random processes and algorithms.
