1 Many many applications in algorithms, data structures and computer science! 2 In some cases only known algorithms are randomized or randomness is provably necessary. 3 Often randomized algorithms are (much) simpler and/or more ecient. 4 Several deep connections to mathematics, physics etc. 5 ... 6 Lots of fun!

Chandra (UIUC) CS498ABD 9 Fall 2020 9 / 33 Average case analysis vs Randomized algorithms

Average case analysis: 1 Fix a deterministic algorithm. 2 Assume inputs comes from a probability distribution. 3 Analyze the algorithm’s average performance over the distribution over inputs.

Randomized algorithms: 1 Algorithm uses random bits in addition to input. 2 Analyze algorithms average performance over the given input where the average is over the random bits that the algorithm uses. 3 On each input behaviour of algorithm is random. Analyze worst-case over all inputs of the (average) performance.
