Kolmogorov Complexity: a survey

What follows is a survey of the field of Kolmogorov complexity. Kolmogorov complexity, named after the mathematician Andrej Nikolaevič Kolmogorov, is a measure of the algorithmic complexity of a certain object (represented as a string of symbols) in terms of how hard it is to describe it. This measure dispenses with the need to know the probability distribution that rules a certain object (in g...

A Survey on Kolmogorov Complexity

Kolmogorov complexity, which is also called algorithmic (descriptive) complexity is an object, such as a piece of text, to measure the computational resources needed, which are mostly the length of the shortest binary program to specify an object. Strings whose Kolmogorov complexity is small relative to the string’s size are not considered to be complex and easy to use a short program to specif...

Kolmogorov Complexity of Categories

Kolmogorov complexity theory is used to tell what the algorithmic informational content of a string is. It is defined as the length of the shortest program that describes the string. We present a programming language that can be used to describe categories, functors, and natural transformations. With this in hand, we define the informational content of these categorical structures as the shorte...

Kolmogorov Complexity as a Language

The notion of Kolmogorov complexity (=the minimal length of a program that generates some object) is often useful as a kind of language that allows us to reformulate some notions and therefore provide new intuition. In this survey we provide (with minimal comments) many different examples where notions and statements that involve Kolmogorov complexity are compared with their counterparts not in...

Randomized Communication Complexity of Approximating Kolmogorov Complexity

The paper [Harry Buhrman, Michal Koucký, Nikolay Vereshchagin. Randomized Individual Communication Complexity. IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity 2008: 321-331] considered communication complexity of the following problem. Alice has a binary string x and Bob a binary string y, both of length n, and they want to compute or approximate Kolmogorov complexity C(x|y) of x conditional to y. ...
