Let M = (mij) be a random n × n matrix over GF(t) in which each matrix entry mij is independently and identically distributed, with Pr(mij = 0) = 1 − p(n) and Pr(mij = r) = p(n)/(t − 1), r 6= 0. If we choose t ≥ 3, and condition on M having no zero rows or columns, then the probability that M is non-singular tends to ct ∼ ∏∞ j=1(1 − t−j) provided p ≥ (log n + d)/n, where d → −∞ slowly.

The satisfiability threshold conjecture states that fur a randomly generated formula of m clauses of exactly k literals over n variables, the probability that it is satisfiable, as n tends to infinity, changes abruptly from I to 0, as the ratio I = m/n is

The choice number ch(G) of a graph G = (V,E) is the minimum number k such that for every assignment of a list S(v) of at least k colors to each vertex v ∈ V , there is a proper vertex coloring of G assigning to each vertex v a color from its list S(v). We prove that if the minimum degree of G is d, then its choice number is at least ( 1 2 − o(1)) log2 d, where the o(1)-term tends to zero as d tends to infinity. This is tight up to a constant factor of 2 + o(1), improves an estimate established in [1], and settles a problem raised in [2].
