BPP

Complexity Class

Bounded-error probabilistic polynomial time, the complexity class of decision problems solvable by a randomized algorithm running in polynomial time that answers correctly with probability strictly greater than one half on every input, and whose error can be reduced arbitrarily by repeated trials.
