Five Proofs of Chernoff's Bound with Applications
[article]

arXiv
pre-print

We discuss five ways of proving Chernoff's bound and show how they lead to different extensions of the basic bound. ...
Chernoff's bound is one of the most basic and versatile tools in the life of a theoretical computer scientist, with a seemingly endless amount of applications. ...
A Proof via Differential Privacy The fifth proof of Chernoff's bound is due to Steinke and Ullman [22] , and it uses methods from the theory of differential privacy [11] . ...

In this article we show that for all positive t and for all distributions, the moment bound is tighter than Chemnoff's bound. ...
By way of example, we demonstrate that the improvement is often substantial. ...
Perhaps the most famous of these bounds is Chernoff's bound (Chernoff 1952) . ...

For a set D of vertices of G, let the set H_ρ(D) arise by starting with the set D, and iteratively adding further vertices u to the current set if they have at least ρ d_G(u) neighbors in it. ...
If H_ρ(D) contains all vertices of G, then D is known as an irreversible dynamic monopoly or a perfect target set associated with the threshold function uρ d_G(u). ...
In fact, especially for small values of ρ, and graphs with many vertices of small degrees, the bound (3) can be much better than the bound (1). ...

Moreover, we also obtain a lower bound for the number of distinct 1-factorizations of such graphs G which is off by a factor of 2 in the base of the exponent from the known upper bound. ...
This lower bound is better by a factor of 2^nd/2 than the previously best known lower bounds, even in the simplest case where G is the complete graph. ...
The underlying idea is similar in both cases, but the proof in the sparse case is technically more involved as a standard use of Chernoff's bounds and the union bound does not work (and therefore, we will ...
