Probabilistic Recursion Theory and Implicit Computational Complexity

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We show that probabilistic computable functions, i.e., those functions outputting distributions and computed by probabilistic Turing machines, can be characterized by a natural generalization of Church and Kleene's partial recursive functions. The obtained algebra, following Leivant, can be restricted so as to capture the notion of polytime sampleable distributions, a key concept in average-case complexity and cryptography.
