We farther examine different types of...

(in this model) is considered as a system of deterministic algorithms A1, . . . , An and a stochastic process (probability distribution) that switches performance from one algorithm from the list to another according to a given schema. This is, for example, how the operating system of a computer functions. An interesting property of randomized algorithms is that it is possible to consider them ...
