Abstract

We show that any randomized space(S) algorithm which uses only poly(S) random bits can be simulated deterministically in space(S), for 5(n) > logn. Of independent interest is our main technical tool: A procedure which extracts randomness from a defective random source using a small additional number of truly random bits.
