A nondeterministic automaton, after reading an input symbol at some state, may jump into any of a (finite?) number of states.

Does the automaton uniformly randomly choose one out of the several states?

So different runs on the same input will give different sequence of states?

Does the automaton have to run in all the possible sequences of states on a given input? Or just one random run?

Thanks.

How is a nondeterminisitic automaton running on an input?
