Average-case complexity

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Michael Hardy (talk | contribs) at 02:44, 4 August 2008 (moved Average case complexity to Average-case complexity). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

For deterministic algorithms, the average-case complexity (expected time complexity), associates a given input distribution with the expected time of an algorithm.
