Connection To Other Classes
Since ZPP = RP ∩ coRP, ZPP is obviously contained in both RP and coRP.
The class P is contained in ZPP, and some computer scientists have conjectured that P = ZPP, i.e., every Las Vegas algorithm has a deterministic polynomial-time equivalent.
A proof for ZPP = EXPTIME (though that is almost certainly false) would imply that P ≠ ZPP, as P ≠ EXPTIME (see time hierarchy theorem).

Famous quotes containing the words connection and/or classes:
“Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There are four classes of idols which beset men’s minds. To these for distinction’s sake I have assigned names—calling the first class Idols of the Tribe; the second, Idols of the Cave; the third, Idols of the Market-Place; the fourth, Idols of the Theatre.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
