Derandomized Squaring of Graphs
We introduce a “derandomized” analogue of graph squaring. This operation increases the connectivity of the graph (as measured by the second eigenvalue) almost as well as squar...

Checking Polynomial Identities over any Field: Towards a Derandomization?
We present a Monte Carlo algorithm for testing multivariate polynomial identities over any field using fewer random bits than other methods. To test if a polynomial P(x1 ::: xn) ...

Better lossless condensers through derandomized curve samplers
Lossless condensers are unbalanced expander graphs, with expansion close to optimal. Equivalently, they may be viewed as functions that use a short random seed to map a source on ...

Derandomizing the Ahlswede-Winter matrix-valued Chernoff bound using pessimistic estimators, and applications
: Ahlswede and Winter [IEEE Trans. Inf. Th. 2002] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound ...
