Abstract

This work addresses the question of hardness versus randomness trade-offs. By using the NW-generator in a new, more sophisticated way, derandomization in almost optimal time using any lower bound s(n) is obtained. Following Trevisan, information theoretic analogs of the new construction are explored.
