The latter result is applied to show that the Shannon capacity of the n-dimensional $(d,\infty)$-runlength-limited (RLL) constraint converges to 1/(d+1) as n goes to infinity.

The method involves constrained optimization problems over distributions of random variables and applies to all d-regular graphs directly, without a reduction to the bipartite case, and proves the asymptotic upper matching conjecture of Friedland, Krop, Lundow, and Markstrom.

Taking the zero-temperature limit gives new results in extremal combinatorics: the number of $q-colorings of a$3-regular graph, for any $q \ge 2$, is maximized by a union of $K_{3,3}$'s, which proves the d=3 case of a conjecture of Galvin and Tetali.

A tight upper bound is proved on the occupancy fraction, the expected fraction of vertices occupied by a particle under a random configuration from the Widom–Rowlinson model, which is achieved uniquely by unions of complete graphs on d + 1 vertices, K d+1.

The lower bounds follow from a more general statement, which applies to hereditary properties of hypergraphs, and generalizes a result of Duke, Lefmann and Rödl, which guarantees the existence of an independent set of sizemega.
