ZPP (complexity) - Connection To Other Classes

Connection To Other Classes

Since ZPP = RPcoRP, 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 PZPP, as PEXPTIME (see time hierarchy theorem).

Famous quotes containing the words connection and/or classes:

    Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.
    Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
