5.5 ***Some other methods***

Extremal combinatoric s is fertile ground with interesting ideas from different fields of mathematics. We have indicated the probabilistic method above and we mention two notable ones : Linear algebra method ([Babai 2020]) and the very recent Polynomial method ([Guth 2016, Grochow 2019]). An excellent overview of all these three methods can be found in [Jukna 2011].
