Abstract
To study the limiting behaviour of the random running-time of the FIND algorithm, the so-called FIND process was introduced by Grubel and Ro sler [1]. In this paper an approach for determining the nth moment fun ction is presented. Applied to the second moment this provides an expl icit expression for the variance.
