Uniform distribution and algorithmic randomness

Uniform distribution and algorithmic randomness

Abstract. A seminal theorem due to Weyl [14] states that if (an) is any sequence of distinct integers, then, for almost every x ∈ R, the sequence (anx) is uniformly distributed modulo one. In particular, for almost every x in the unit interval, the sequence (anx) is uniformly distributed modulo one for every computable sequence (an) of distinct integers. Call such an x UD random. Here it is sho...

Uniform test of algorithmic randomness over a general space

The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the uniform distribution or a computable distribution. These restrictions seem artificial. Some progress has been made to extend the theory to arbitrary Bernoulli distributions (by Martin-Löf), and to arbitrary distributions (...

Algorithmic randomness and lowness

We prove that there are uncountably many sets that are low for the class of Schnorr random reals. We give a purely recursion theoretic characterization of these sets and show that they all have Turing degree incomparable to 0 0. This contrasts with a result of Ku cera and Terwijn 2] on sets that are low for the class of Martin-LL of random reals. The Cantor space 2 ! is the set of innnite binar...

Algorithmic Randomness and Computability

We examine some recent work which has made significant progress in out understanding of algorithmic randomness, relative algorithmic randomness and their relationship with algorithmic computability and relative algorithmic computability.
