  RP (complexity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In complexity theory, RP ("randomized polynomial time") is the complexity class of problems for which a probabilistic Turing machine exists with these properties:
Connection to P and NP is a subset of RP, which is a subset of NP.
An alternative characterization of RP that is sometimes easier to use is the set of problems recognizable by nondeterministic Turing machines where the machine accepts if and only if at least some constant fraction of the computation paths, independent of the input size, accept.

The set RP will contain exactly the same problems, even if the 1/2 is replaced by any constant nonzero probability less then 1.
However, it is believed that either P ≠; RP or RP ≠ NP, since otherwise P = NP, which is widely believed to be false.
It is also not known whether RP = Co-RP, or whether RP is a subset of the intersection of NP and Co-NP.

The RP were firstly introduced by Eckmann et al in [2] as a tool to describe non linear dynamic systems without constraint such as system stationariety, dynamical noise and transient phenomena that typically characterise normal physiological systems.
In fact, RP can take single physiological measurements and identify time correlations (recurrences) that are not apparent in the original scalar time serie.
The RP analysed in this study are relevant to VEP intervals as derived by continuous EEG monitoring (1 KHz frequency sampling) in 100 consecutive tracing.

RP and CNC machining both have staunch supporters that tout the benefits of their preferred technology.
While RP has progressed to layer thicknesses of 0.0005 to 0.001 inch (0.0125 to 0.025 mm) for some technologies, the layer striations and stairstepping still affect surface finish.
The age of RP technologies ranges from one to fifteen years, which means that one can expect varying degrees of reliability.

Cost is generally less for small quantities of highly complex parts, since the cost of RP parts is more dependent on part size and volume than on complexity.
In addition, although RP parts are quite accurate, with layer thickness of.010” or.25mm and resolution in the X and Y direction of better than.005” or.1mm, they still do not reach the level of accuracy of CNC machining.
RP orders are often completed in less than a week, often in 1-2 days, depending on size and finish requirements.

 Complexity classes P and NP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computational complexity theory is part of the theory of computation dealing with the resources required during computation to solve a given problem.

This is in fact a common approach to attack problems in NP not known to be in P (see RP, BPP).

Problem is in RP if there exists randomized poly-time algorithm A such that: if x is a YES instance then Pr(A(x) = YES) >= 1/2 if x is a NO instance, then Pr(A(x) = YES) == 0 E.g., we showed the problem "Is x composite?" is in RP.
