Hardness vs Randomness
We present a simple new construction of a pseudorandom bit generator, based on the constant depth generators of [N]. It stretches a short string of truly random bits into a long string that looks random to any algorithm from a complexity class C (eg P, NC, PSPACE, ...) using an arbitrary function that is hard for C. This construction reveals an equivalence between the problem of proving lower b...
متن کاملHardness vs. Randomness within Alternating Time
We study the complexity of building pseudorandom generators (PRGs) with logarithmic seed length from hard functions. We show that, starting from a function f : {0, 1} → {0, 1} that is mildly hard on average, i.e. every circuit of size 2 fails to compute f on at least a 1/poly(l) fraction of inputs, we can build a PRG : {0, 1} n) → {0, 1} computable in ATIME (O(1), log n) = alternating time O(lo...
متن کاملRandomness vs. Time in Anonymous Networks
In an anonymous network, symmetry breaking tasks can only be solved if randomization is available. But how many random bits are required to solve any such task? As it turns out, the answer to this question depends on the desired runtime of the algorithm. Since any randomized anonymous network algorithm can be decomposed into a randomized 2-hop coloring stage and a deterministic stage, we tackle...
متن کاملMemory effects and macroscopic manifestation of randomness.
It is shown that due to memory effects the complex behavior of components in a stochastic system can be transmitted to macroscopic evolution of the system as a whole. Within the Markov approximation widely used in ordinary statistical mechanics, memory effects are neglected. As a result, a time-scale separation between the macroscopic and the microscopic level of description exists, the macrosc...
متن کاملBroadcasting vs. Mixing and Information Dissemination on Cayley Graphs
One frequently studied problem in the context of information dissemination in communication networks is the broadcasting problem. In this paper, we study the following randomized broadcasting protocol: At some time t an information r is placed at one of the nodes of a graph G. In the succeeding steps, each informed node chooses one neighbor, independently and uniformly at random, and informs th...
