We study how to extract randomness from a $C$-interleaved source, that is, a source comprised of $C$ independent sources whose bits or symbols are interleaved. We describe a simple approach for constructing such extractors that yields:

(1) For some $\delta>0, c > 0$,
explicit extractors for $2$-interleaved sources on $\{ ... more >>>

Most of the research in communication complexity theory is focused on the
fixed-partition model (in this model the partition of the input between
Alice and Bob is fixed). Nonetheless, the best-partition model (the model
that allows Alice and Bob to choose the partition) has a lot of
