Abstract

The minimum randomness necessary for finite precision simulation of a random source is studied. In particular it addresses the question regarding the minimal complexity for the source simulator if it is required to approximate the desired statistics at a prespecified accuracy level. We give a precise answer to this question for four different accuracy notions: the variational distance, the Prohorov distance, the general ρ̄ distortion measure, and the general ρ_s distortion measure introduced here for the first time.
