Construction
The case corresponds to pseudorandom generators for linear functions and is solved by small-bias generators. For example, the construction of Naor & Naor (1990) achieves a seed length of, which is optimal up to constant factors.
Bogdanov & Viola (2007) conjectured that the sum of small-bias generators fools low-degree polynomials and were able to prove this under the Gowers inverse conjecture. Lovett (2009) proved unconditionally that the sum of small-bias spaces fools polynomials of degree . Viola (2008) proves that, in fact, taking the sum of only small-bias generators is sufficient to fool polynomials of degree . The analysis of Viola (2008) gives a seed length of .
