On the Numbers of Close-and-equal Pairs of Bits in a String (with Implications on the Security of RSA'S L.S.B.)

We consider the following problem: Let s be a n-bit string with m ones and n-m zeros. Denote by CEt(s) the number of pairs, of equal bits which are within distance t apart, in the string s. What is the minimum value of Cet(*), when the minimum is taken over all n-bit strings which consists of m ones...
