Every randomized algorithm can be simulated by a deterministic algorithm, at the expense of an exponential increase in running time. Derandomization is about converting randomized algorithms into efficient deterministic algorithms.

Optimal bounds for $k$-wise non-uniform random bits

$$s = \Theta( k \cdot ( t + \log n ) )$$ As the question mentions, there is an upper bound of $s \le k\cdot\max\{t,\lceil \log_2 n \rceil\}$ bits for the seed length. Specifically, sample a rando …
