Playing games with approximation algorithms
In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...

Almost random graphs with simple hash functions
We describe a simple randomized construction for generating pairs of hash functions h1, h2 from a universe U to ranges V = [m] = {0, 1, . . . , m - 1} and W = [m] so that for ever...

Extractors: optimal up to constant factors
This paper provides the first explicit construction of extractors which are simultaneously optimal up to constant factors in both seed length and output length. More precisely, fo...
