Randomized Algorithms and Complexity Theory

Harald Hempel (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany)

Abstract: In this paper we give an introduction to the connection between complexity theory and the study of randomized algorithms. In particular, we will define and study probabilistic complexity classes, survey the basic results, and show how they relate to the notion of randomized algorithms.

Keywords: randomized algorithms, randomized complexity classes
