  • Abstract
    We consider the problem of generating random numbers with a specified distribution by parsing a sequence of general coin tosses. We suggest a method based on homophonic coding that allows the number of tosses to approach arbitrarily close to the lower bound with exponentially less computational effort than other known methods
