Abstract

A family of functions F that map [0,n]-1, that can be evaluated in constant time for the standard random access model of computation. Simple extensions give comparable behavior for larger domains. As a consequence, many probabilistic algorithms can for the first time be shown to achieve their expected asymptotic performance for a feasible model of computation. This paper also establishes a tight tradeoff in the number of random seeds that must be precomputed for a random function that runs in time T and is h-wise independent.
