Kolmogorov complexity of enumerating finite sets
Solovay [5] has proved that the minimal length of a program enumerating a set A is upper bounded by 3 times the negative logarithm of the probability that a random program will enumerate A. It is unknown whether one can replace the constant 3 by a smaller constant. In this paper, we show that the constant 3 can be replaced by the constant 2 for finite sets A. We recall first two complexity meas...
متن کاملOn Kolmogorov Complexity of Hard Sets
There are two main informal ideas related to informational content of hard sets. The first says that a set of low informational content can not be hard or complete for a great enough complexity class because of lack of information accessible with bounded resources. One of the formalization of this idea is well-known Hartmanis Conjecture: Sparse sets are not Ccomplete if C is great enough comple...
متن کاملKolmogorov Complexity of Generalized Computably Enumerable Sets
The main purpose of this work is to characterize computably enumerable (c.e.) sets and generalized c.e. sets according to Kolmogorov complexity hierarchy. Given a set A, we consider A m, the initial segment of length m of the characteristic sequence of A. We show that the characteristic sequence of a 2 x-c.e. set can be random in the sense of Martin-LL of. We show that for x n-c.e. sets A, the ...
متن کاملKolmogorov-Loveland Sets and Advice Complexity Classes
Loveland complexity Loveland (1969) is a variant of Kolmogorov complexity, where it is asked to output separately the bits of the desired string, instead of the string itself. Similarly to the resource-bounded Kolmogorov sets we define Loveland sets. We highlight a structural connection between resource-bounded Loveland sets and some advice complexity classes. This structural connection enables...
متن کاملKolmogorov Complexity and Instance Complexity of Recursively Enumerable Sets
We study in which way Kolmogorov complexity and instance complexity affect properties of r.e. sets. We show that the well-known 2 log n upper bound on the Kolmogorov complexity of initial segments of r.e. sets is optimal and characterize the T-degrees of r.e. sets which attain this bound. The main part of the paper is concerned with instance complexity of r.e. sets. We construct a nonrecursive ...
