Kolmogorov Complexity and Algorithmic Randomness
This paper aims to provide a minimal introduction to algorithmic randomness. In particular, we cover the equivalent 1-randomness and MartinLöf randomness. After a brief review of relevant concepts in computability, we develop the basic theory of Kolmogorov complexity, including the KC theorem and more general notion of information content measures. We then build two natural definitions of rando...
متن کاملKolmogorov Complexity in perspective Part I: Information Theory and Randomness
We survey diverse approaches to the notion of information: from Shannon entropy to Kolmogorov complexity. Two of the main applications of Kolmogorov complexity are presented: randomness and classification. The survey is divided in two parts in the same volume. Part I is dedicated to information theory and the mathematical formalization of randomness based on Kolmogorov complexity. This last app...
متن کاملPossibilities and impossibilities in Kolmogorov complexity extraction
Randomness extraction is the process of constructing a source of randomness of high quality from one or several sources of randomness of lower quality. The problem can be modeled using probability distributions and min-entropy to measure their quality and also by using individual strings and Kolmogorov complexity to measure their quality. Complexity theorists are more familiar with the first ap...
متن کاملKolmogorov-Loveland Randomness and Stochasticity
An infinite binary sequence X is Kolmogorov-Loveland (or KL) random if there is no computable non-monotonic betting strategy that succeeds on X in the sense of having an unbounded gain in the limit while betting successively on bits of X . A sequence X is KL-stochastic if there is no computable non-monotonic selection rule that selects from X an infinite, biased sequence. One of the major open ...
متن کاملRandomness Representation of Turbulence in Canopy Flows Using Kolmogorov Complexity Measures
Turbulence is often expressed in terms of either irregular or random fluid flows, without quantification. In this paper, a methodology to evaluate the randomness of the turbulence using measures based on the Kolmogorov complexity (KC) is proposed. This methodology is applied to experimental data from a turbulent flow developing in a laboratory channel with canopy of three different densities. T...
