What is a randomized algorithm?
What is a randomized algorithm?
An algorithm that receives a stream of random bits in addition to its input, which is used to make random choices.
Why might the lack of definiteness in randomized algorithms be desirable?
Why might the lack of definiteness in randomized algorithms be desirable?
It allows to transform deterministic algorithms with bad worst case behavior into randomized algorithms that perform well with high probability on any input.
