Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to establish a new unified method for random number generation from general sources. Specifically, we introduce an alternative definition of the smooth Rényi entropy of order infinity, and show a unified approach to represent the intrinsic randomness in terms of this information quantity. Our definition of the smooth Rényi entropy is easy to calculate for finite block lengths. We also represent δ-intrinsic randomness and the strong converse property in terms of the smooth Rényi entropy.
