Uniform random sample is often useful in analyzing data. Usually taking a uniform sample is not a problem if the entire data resides in one location. However, if the data is distr...

A merger is a probabilistic procedure which extracts the randomness out of any (arbitrarily correlated) set of random variables, as long as one of them is uniform. Our main result...

It is shown that from two strings that are partially random and independent (in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity) it is possible to effectively construct polynomially many strin...
