Optimal randomized algorithms of weakly-balanced multi-branching AND-OR trees
This article treats AND-OR tree computation in terms of query complexity. We are interested in the cases where assignments (inputs) or algorithms are randomized. For the former case, it is known that there is a unique randomized assignment achieving the distributional complexity of balanced trees. On the other hand, the dual problem has the opposite result; the optimal randomized algorithms for balanced trees are not unique. We extend the latter study on randomized algorithms to weakly-balanced trees, and see that the uniqueness still fails.
期刊介绍:
Information Processing Letters invites submission of original research articles that focus on fundamental aspects of information processing and computing. This naturally includes work in the broadly understood field of theoretical computer science; although papers in all areas of scientific inquiry will be given consideration, provided that they describe research contributions credibly motivated by applications to computing and involve rigorous methodology. High quality experimental papers that address topics of sufficiently broad interest may also be considered.
Since its inception in 1971, Information Processing Letters has served as a forum for timely dissemination of short, concise and focused research contributions. Continuing with this tradition, and to expedite the reviewing process, manuscripts are generally limited in length to nine pages when they appear in print.
