description

Ultrametric algorithms are similar to probabilistic algorithms but they describe the degree of indeterminism by p-adic numbers instead of real numbers. This paper introduces the notion of ultrametric query algorithms and shows an example of advantages of ultrametric query algorithms over deterministic, probabilistic and quantum query algorithms.
