| Abstract | An $(n,k)$bitfixing source is a distribution X over $\{0,1\}^n$ such that there is a subset of k variables in $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ which are uniformly distributed and independent of each other, and the remaining $n-k$ variables are fixed. A deterministic bitfixing source extractor is a function $E:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}^m$ which on an arbitrary $(n,k)$bitfixing source outputs m bits that are statistically close to uniform. Recently, Kamp and Zuckerman Proceedings of the 44th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2003, pp. 92101 gave a construction of a deterministic bitfixing source extractor that extracts $\Omega(k^2/n)$ bits and requires $k>\sqrt{n}$.In this paper we give constructions of deterministic bitfixing source extractors that extract $(1-o(1))k$ bits whenever $k>(\log n)^c$ for some universal constant $c>0$. Thus, our constructions extract almost all the randomness from bitfixing sources and work even when k is small. For $k \gg \sqrt{n}$ the extracted bits have statistical distance $2^{-n^{\Omega(1)}}$ from uniform, and for $k \le \sqrt{n}$ the extracted bits have statistical distance $k^{-\Omega(1)}$ from uniform.Our technique gives a general method to transform deterministic bitfixing source extractors that extract few bits into extractors which extract almost all the bits. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
