Summary

In recent years, randomized algorithms and the randomized complexity of computational problems have become major subjects of study in the design of computer algorithms. For some computational problems it appears now that the randomized or the pseudo-randomized algorithms are more efficient than the deterministic ones (in terms of running time, hardware size, circuits depths, transparent description, etc.). This Working Group will address the fundamental issues of the design of efficient randomized algorithms as well as fundamental complexity questions of randomized computation concerning their time and space efficiency, computation with limited randomness resources, and the problems of deterministic simulation of randomized computation.
