  5. Las Vegas Algorithms Las Vegas Algorithms � For example, RandQS is a Las Vegas algorithm. � A Las Vegas always gives the correct solution � The only variation from one run to another is its running time, whose distribution we study. 2006/9/20 5 2006/9/20 5 Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan

  8. 2 Questions for RandQS RandQS 2 Questions for Is RandQS correct? � – That is, does RandQS “always” output a sorted list of X ? What is the time complexity of RandQS? � – Due to the randomization for selecting x , the running time for RandQS becomes a random variable. – We are interested in the expected time complexity for RandQS. 2006/9/20 8 2006/9/20 8 Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan

  9. Monte Carlo algorithms Monte Carlo algorithms � For example, RandEC (the randomized minimum-cut algorithm we have discussed) is a Monte Carlo algorithm. � A Monte Carlo algorithm may sometimes produce a solution that is incorrect. � For decision problems, there are two kinds of Monte Carlo algorithms: – those with one-sided error – those with two-sided error 2006/9/20 9 2006/9/20 9 Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan

  10. Which is better? Which is better? � The answer depends on the application. � A Las Vegas algorithm is by definition a Monte Carlo algorithm with error probability 0. � Actually, we can derive a Las Vegas algorithm A from a Monte Carlo algorithm B by repeated running B until we get a correct answer. 2006/9/20 10 2006/9/20 10 Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan Computation Theory Lab, CSIE, CCU, Taiwan
