Non- Deterministic Algorithms
This document discusses deterministic and non-deterministic algorithms. A deterministic algorithm always produces the same output for a given input, while a non-deterministic algorithm may have multiple possible outputs for one input. Non-deterministic algorithms have two stages: a guessing stage that generates a potential solution, and a verification stage that checks if the guess is correct. Examples of non-deterministic algorithms given are a search algorithm that guesses a location containing the search value, and a sorting algorithm that guesses the sorted order of elements.

- 7. Non-deterministic Stage(Guessing stage) Here it generate an arbitrary string that can be thought of as a candidate solution.
- 8. Deterministic Stage(Verification stage) In this stage we take candidate solution and instance of the problem as the input. It returns yes if the candidate represent the actual solution(if the guessing is correct). If the answer is no our guessing is wrong.
- 9. Non-deterministic Algorithm ANon-deterministic Algorithm terminates if and only if there exist no set of choices leading to a successful signal. A machine that is capable of executing a Non-deterministic Algorithm is called as Non-deterministic machine, Non-deterministic finite automata(NFA).

- 12. Functions used inthe Algorithm Choice(s)- it randomly chooses one of the elements of set(s) Failure()- it signals an unsuccessful completion. Success()- it signals a successful completion.
