Important facts A randomized algorithm typically require random bits/numbers that have • a uniform distribution • pairwise independence • Random bit complexity can be reduced. Theorem: We can generate pairwiseindependent random bits using Only mutually independent random bits. We shall now prove this theorem.

Large cut in a graph Theorem:(We proved in Lecture 20) Let be an undirected graph on vertices and edges. There exists a cut of size at least .
Large cut in a graph A randomized algorithm: ∅; Add each vertex from to randomly independently with probability . Return the cut defined by . : size of cut () returned by the randomized algorithm. E[] = There exists an such that Question: What is the underlying sample space ? Answer: Depends upon the random bits used by the algorithm.
Large cut in a graph Question: How to de-randomize the algorithm ? Answer: Compute cut associated with each and return the largest. Question: How many random bits does the algorithm require ? Answer: Question: If we use mutually independent bits for all vertices, what is the size of ? Answer: . Question: Do we really need mutually independent bits for all vertices ? Answer: NO IDEA : Use only pairwise independent random bits. But will it still ensure E[] =? Let us see …

Large cut in a graph Lemma: If we use only pairwise independent random bits, the expected size of cut will be at least Question: How many random bits does the algorithm require now ? Answer: Question: What is the size of now ? Answer: O(). Deterministic algorithm: Just enumerate cuts associated with each and report the largest one. Running time: O()
Large cut in a graph Theroem: There is an O() time deterministic algorithm that computes a cut of size at least in a graph having edges and vertices. In the next class we shall discuss a powerful technique called “Method of Conditional Expectation” to design a O() time algorithm for computing a cut of size at least . We shall conclude this course with a beautiful puzzle.
