Algorithme probabilisteEn algorithmique, un algorithme probabiliste, ou algorithme randomisé, est un algorithme qui utilise une source de hasard. Plus précisément le déroulement de l’algorithme fait appel à des données tirées au hasard. Par exemple à un certain point de l’exécution, on tire un bit 0 ou 1, selon la loi uniforme et si le résultat est 0, on fait une certaine action A et si c'est 1, on fait une autre action. On peut aussi tirer un nombre réel dans l'intervalle [0,1] ou un entier dans un intervalle [i..j].
Algorithmic efficiencyIn computer science, algorithmic efficiency is a property of an algorithm which relates to the amount of computational resources used by the algorithm. An algorithm must be analyzed to determine its resource usage, and the efficiency of an algorithm can be measured based on the usage of different resources. Algorithmic efficiency can be thought of as analogous to engineering productivity for a repeating or continuous process. For maximum efficiency it is desirable to minimize resource usage.
Integer matrixIn mathematics, an integer matrix is a matrix whose entries are all integers. Examples include binary matrices, the zero matrix, the matrix of ones, the identity matrix, and the adjacency matrices used in graph theory, amongst many others. Integer matrices find frequent application in combinatorics. and are both examples of integer matrices. Invertibility of integer matrices is in general more numerically stable than that of non-integer matrices.
