Meanings

1. Of, or relating to determinism.
2. (of a Turing machine) Having at most one instruction associated with any given internal state.
   • Another class, P, is a subset of NP, and includes all decision problems that can be solved by a (deterministic) Turing machine in polynomial time. 2017, Arlindo Oliveira, The Digital Mind: How Science Is Redefining Humanity, MIT Press, →ISBN, page 81:
3. (of a system) Having exactly predictable time evolution.
4. (of an algorithm) For a given particular input, always producing the same output through the same sequence of states.
   • On the other hand, if the genetic algorithm has many advantages, their computation cost is higher as compared with deterministic algorithms. 2014, Hélder Rodrigues et al., editors, Engineering Optimization, volume IV, CRC Press, →ISBN, page 311:
