Extracting All the Randomness from a Weakly Random Source

Revisions: 1 , Comments: 1


In this paper, we give explicit constructions of extractors which work for
a source of any min-entropy on strings of length $n$. The first
construction extracts any constant fraction of the min-entropy using
O(log^2 n) additional random bits. The second extracts all the
min-entropy using O(log^3 n) additional random ... more >>>

Extracting All the Randomness and Reducing the Error in Trevisan's Extractors

We give explicit constructions of extractors which work for a source of
any min-entropy on strings of length n. These extractors can extract any
constant fraction of the min-entropy using O(log^2 n) additional random
bits, and can extract all the min-entropy using O(log^3 n) additional
random bits. Both of these ... more >>>
