Sublinear algorithms for testing monotone and unimodal distributions
The complexity of testing properties of monotone and unimodal distributions, when given access only to samples of the distribution, is investigated. Two kinds of sublineartime alg...

Extractors: optimal up to constant factors
This paper provides the first explicit construction of extractors which are simultaneously optimal up to constant factors in both seed length and output length. More precisely, fo...
