Title:
Derandomizing BPL?
Speaker:
Abstract:
I will survey some of the basic approaches to derandomizing Probabilistic Logspace computations, including the "classical" Nisan, Impagliazzo-Nisan-Widgerson and Reingold-Raz generators, the Saks-Zhou algorithm and some more recent approaches. We'll see why each falls short of complete derandomization, BPL=L, hopefully motivating further work on this basic problem.
