On the Error Parameter of Dispersers

Optimal dispersers have better dependence on the error than optimal extractors. In this paper we give explicit disperser constructions that beat the best possible extractors in some parameters. Our constructions are not strong, but we show that having such explicit strong constructions implies a solution to the Ramsey graph construction problem.
