Abstract

A hitting-set generator is a deterministic algorithm which generates a set of strings that intersects every dense set recognizable by a small circuit. A polynomial time hitting-set generator readily implies RP = P. Andreev et. al. (ICALP'96, and JACM 1998) showed that if polynomial-time hitting-set generator in fact implies the much stronger conclusion BPP = P. We simplify and improve their (and later) constructions.
