Nondeterministic algorithm

In computer programming, a nondeterministic algorithm is an algorithm that, even for the same input, can exhibit different behaviors on different runs, as opposed to a deterministic algorithm. There are several ways an algorithm may behave differently from run to run. A concurrent algorithm can perform differently on different runs due to a race condition. A probabilistic algorithm's behaviors depends on a random number generator. An algorithm that solves a problem in nondeterministic polynomial time can run in polynomial time or exponential time depending on the choices it makes during execution. The nondeterministic algorithms are often used to find an approximation to a solution, when the exact solution would be too costly to obtain using a deterministic one. The notion was introduced by Robert W. Floyd in 1967. (Wikipedia).

Classify a polynomial then determining if it is a polynomial or not

πŸ‘‰ Learn how to determine whether a given equation is a polynomial or not. A polynomial function or equation is the sum of one or more terms where each term is either a number, or a number times the independent variable raised to a positive integer exponent. A polynomial equation of functio

Nondeterministic Direct Product Reductions and the Success Probability of SAT... - Andrew Drucker

Andrew Drucker Member, School of Mathematics May 13, 2013 In this talk I will describe nondeterministic reductions which yield new direct product theorems (DPTs) for Boolean circuits. In our theorems one assumes that a function F is "mildly hard" against *nondeterministic* circuits of some
