Nov 12, 2020 at 16:59 comment added roydiptajit Yes, by $S(l)-prg$, I mean $(S(l),\epsilon)-prg$. Yes, you are right about $G$. I have updated the question to remove $n$ from definition. Sorry for the inconvinience.
Nov 12, 2020 at 10:29 comment added xskxzr But what is $\epsilon$? Is it a constant, a negligible function of $n$, or a parameter of the definition (i.e., you mean $(S(l),\epsilon)$-Prg rather than $S(l)$-Prg)? In addition, what do you mean by $x\in G$? Do you mean $\mathrm{Pr}_{x\in U_{S^{-1}(n)}}[C_n(G(x))=1]$? You use both $n$ and $l$ in the definition of $S(l)$-Prg, what is the relation between $n$ and $l$?

Nov 12, 2020 at 3:35 comment added xskxzr What is $\epsilon$?

Nov 11, 2020 at 15:53 comment added roydiptajit I cannot give you the details of the paper, I am sorry, as I did not go through it. All this I got from my university lecture materials. I just want to know if $\exists\;f$, s.t. $S(l)-prg->H_{avg}(f)\geq S((n)$. Definitions are all according to above, might be confusing, that is why I am also struggling with it. What I think is it does not have any connection with NW 1988.

Nov 11, 2020 at 14:58 comment added xskxzr And Theorem 1 in [Nisan Wigderson 1988] states that the two parts are equivalent. Is that what you want?
Nov 11, 2020 at 14:57 comment added xskxzr You seem to refer to Theorem 1 in [Nisan Wigderson 1988], but the original theorem does not mention 0.01. Where is the 0.01 comes from?
Nov 11, 2020 at 14:06 comment added roydiptajit " For any general $S(l)$, a Pseudo-random generator, is called an $S(l)-Prg$ if for circuit family $C_n$ of size $S(l)$ $|Pr_{x\in G}[C_n(x)=1]-Pr_{x\in U_n}[C_n(x)=1]|<\epsilon$. Here $G$ is a pseudo random function $G:\{0,1\}^l\longrightarrow\{0,1\}^{S(l)}$, generates an $S(l)$ length strings from length $l$." - This is what I know about $S(l)-prg$. There was a result like this in NIsan Wigderson 1988, but what I asked over here is independent of that. It comes from the definitions and some probability trick, I think..

Nov 11, 2020 at 11:02 comment added xskxzr What is $S'(l)Prg$? Which theorem or lemma in [Nisan Wigderson 1988] implies "if there exists $f\in E$ with $H_{avg}(f)\ge S(n)$ then there is a $S'(l)Prg$ where $S'(l)=S(n)^{0.01}$"?
