Mergers are functions that transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one of the input sources has minentropy rate ...
In 1998, Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW98] proved a hardness vs. randomness tradeoff for BPP in the uniform setting, which was subsequently extended to give optimal tradeoffs for t...
In recent years, IP protection of FPGA hardware designs has become a requirement for many IP vendors. In [34], Simpson and Schaumont proposed a fundamentally different approach to...

— Unstructured p2p and overlay network applications often require that a random graph be constructed, and that some form of random node selection take place over that graph. A ke...
The area of derandomization attempts to provide efficient deterministic simulations of randomized algorithms in various algorithmic settings. Goldreich and Wigderson introduced a n...
