Stable Distributions, Pseudorandom Generators, Embeddings and Data Stream Computation
In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...

Extracting Randomness from Samplable Distributions
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...

Succinct quantum proofs for properties of finite groups
In this paper we consider a quantum computational variant of nondeterminism based on the notion of a quantum proof, which is a quantum state that plays a role similar to a certifi...

Cache-Oblivious B-Trees
We present dynamic search-tree data structures that perform well in the setting of a hierarchical memory (including various levels of cache, disk, etc.), but do not depend on the ...

Extracting Randomness via Repeated Condensing
Extractors (defined by Nisan and Zuckerman) are procedures that use a small number of truly random bits (called the seed) to extract many (almost) truly random bits from arbitrar...
