A discrete distribution D over Σ1 × · · · × Σn is called (non-uniform) k-wise independent if for any set of k indexes {i1, . . . , ik} and for any z1 ∈ Σi1 , . . . , zk ...
Abstract. The subject of this paper is nding small sample spaces for joint distributions of n discrete random variables. Such distributions are often only required to obey a certa...
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

Selection procedures are used in a variety of applications to select the best of a finite set of alternatives. ‘Best’ is defined with respect to the largest mean, but the me...
Microfluidics-based biochips, also referred to as lab-on-a-chip (LoC), are devices that integrate fluid-handling functions such as sample preparation, analysis, separation, and de...
