(computing) Dependence on factors other than initial state and input.
Moving from a single-processor to a multi-processor system often exposes hidden nondeterminism due to invalid assumptions about scheduling.
(computer science) The property of being nondeterministic, involving arbitrary choices; necessitating the choice between various indistinguishable possibilities.
Projection of an automaton almost always results in nondeterminism.
In 1970, Savitch's theorem showed that PSPACE is closed under nondeterminism, implying that even non-deterministic context-sensitive grammars are in PSPACE. Source: Internet
