Combinatorial Interpretation of Kolmogorov Complexity
The very first Kolmogorov’s paper on algorithmic information theory [1] was entitled “Three approaches to the definition of the quantity of information”. These three approaches were called combinatorial, probabilistic and algorithmic. Trying to establish formal connections between combinatorial and algorithmic approaches, we prove that every linear inequality including Kolmogorov complexities c...
متن کاملRandomized 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. ...
متن کاملTime - Bounded Kolmogorov Complexity in Complexity Theory
This paper presents one method of using time-bounded Kol-mogorov complexity as a measure of the complexity of sets, and outlines a number of applications of this approach to diierent questions in complexity theory. Connections will be drawn among the following topics: NE predicates, ranking functions, pseudorandom generators, and hierarchy theorems in circuit complexity.
متن کاملCompressibility and Kolmogorov Complexity
We continue the investigation of the path-connected geometry on the Cantor space and the related notions of dilution and compressibility described in [1]. These ideas are closely related to the notions of effective Hausdorff and packing dimensions of reals, and we argue that this geometry provides the natural context in which to study them. In particular we show that every regular real can be m...
متن کاملKolmogorov complexity and cryptography
We consider (in the framework of algorithmic information theory) questions of the following type: construct a message that contains different amounts of information for recipients that have (or do not have) certain a priori information. Assume, for example, that the recipient knows some string a, and we want to send her some information that allows her to reconstruct some string b (using a). On...
