Subtopic: randomized algorithms up

Quote: survey of randomized algorithms for primality testing, universal hashing, etc. [»guptR3_1994]
Quote: randomized binary search trees based on size of subtrees; O(log n); access by rank [»martC3_1998]
Quote: first fully dynamic algorithm for connectivity, bipartiteness, and approximate minimum spanning tree in polylogarithmic time per edge; randomized, efficient; sparse cuts near root [»henzMR7_1999]
Quote: a complete, polynomial-time randomized algorithm for global value numbering to detect equivalent expressions [»gulwS1_2004]

Subtopic: probablistic protocol up

Quote: micropayments using a probabilistic deposit protocol; greatly reduces bank processing costs [»micaS2_2002]

Subtopic: randomized access up

Quote: use randomness to avoid hot-spotting of cache lines and TLB entries; static patterns often interfere with some application's performance [»smaaB2_2006]

Subtopic: prime numbers up

Quote: while a deterministic, prime number predicate is probably exponential, a probabilistic predicate is linear [»carbJG3_1978]

Subtopic: rumor mongering up

Quote: rumor mongering -- mail updates until they're old news at multiple sites [»demeA8_1987]

Subtopic: random compares up

Quote: anti-entropy compares databases at random -- is much slower than direct mail [»demeA8_1987]

Subtopic: random perturbation up

Quote: wonglediff identifies numeric instability by running a program multiple times while randomly changing the floating-point rounding mode [»eggePR4_2005]
Note: joggled input allows a simple implementation of geometric algorithms
[»cbb_1990, OK]
