A polynomial-time algorithm for computing absolutely normal numbers

We give an algorithm to compute an absolutely normal number so that the first n digits in its binary expansion are obtained in time polynomial in n; in fact, just above quadratic. The algorithm uses combinatorial tools to control divergence from normality. Speed of computation is achieved at the sac...

Sumario:We give an algorithm to compute an absolutely normal number so that the first n digits in its binary expansion are obtained in time polynomial in n; in fact, just above quadratic. The algorithm uses combinatorial tools to control divergence from normality. Speed of computation is achieved at the sacrifice of speed of convergence to normality. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
