The method of (hypergraph) containers is a powerful tool that can help characterize the typical structure and/or answer extremal questions about families of discrete objects with a prescribed set of local constraints. Such questions arise naturally in [[extremal graph theory]], [[additive combinatorics]], [[discrete geometry]], [[coding theory]], and [[Ramsey theory]]; they include some of the most classical problems in the associated fields.
