Abstract

There are very few computing models for which the power of randomized computing is as well understood as for communication protocols and their communication complexity. Since the communication complexity is strongly related to several complexity measures of distinct basic models of computation, there exist possibilities to transform some results about randomized communication protocols to other computing models, and so communication complexity has established itself as a powerful instrument for the study of randomization in complexity theory. The aim of this work is to survey the fundamental results about randomized communication complexity with the focus on the comparison of the efficiency of deterministic, nondeterministic and randomized communication.
