Kolmogorov Complexity Arguments in Combinatorics
The utility of a Kolmogorov complexity method in combinatorial theory is demonstrated by several examples.
متن کاملKolmogorov complexity in perspective
We survey the diverse approaches to the notion of information content: from Shannon entropy to Kolmogorov complexity. The main applications of Kolmogorov complexity are presented: namely, the mathematical notion of randomness (which goes back to the 60’s with the work of MartinLöf, Schnorr, Chaitin, Levin), and classification, which is a recent idea with provocative implementation by Vitanyi an...
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 کاملChapter 19 Kolmogorov Complexity
Kolmogorov complexity has intellectual roots in the areas of information theory, computability theory and probability theory. Despites its remarkably simple basis, it has some striking applications in Complexity Theory. The subject was developed by the Russian mathematician Andrei N. Kolmogorov (1903–1987) as an approach to the notion of random sequences and to provide an algorithmic approach t...
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...
