چکیده

In this paper we answer the following well-known open question in computable model theory. Does there exist a computable not א0-categorical saturated structure with a unique computable isomorphism type? Our answer is affirmative and uses a construction based on Kolmogorov complexity. With a variation of this construction, we also provide an example of an א1-categorical but not א0-categorical saturated Σ1-structure with a unique computable isomorphism type. In addition, using the construction we give an example of an א1-categorical but not א0-categorical theory whose only non-computable model is the prime one. §

Kolmogorov Complexity: Sources, Theory and Applications

The theory of Kolmogorov complexity is based on the discovery, by Alan Turing in 1936, of the universal Turing machine. After proposing the Turing machine as an explanation of the notion of a computing machine, Turing found that there exists one Turing machine which can simulate any other Turing machine. Complexity, according to Kolmogorov, can be measured by the length of the shortest program ...

Kolmogorov Complexity and the Incompressibility Method

1. Introduction. What makes one object more complex than another? Kolmogorov complexity, or program-size complexity, provides one of many possible answers to this fundamental question. In this theory, whose foundations have been developed independently by R. the complexity of an object is defined as the length of its shortest effective description, which is the minimum number of symbols that mu...

Three Approaches to the Quantitative Definition of Information in an Individual Pure Quantum State

In analogy of classical Kolmogorov complexity we develop a theory of the algorithmic information in bits contained in any one of continuously many pure quantum states: quantum Kolmogorov complexity. Classical Kolmogorov complexity coincides with the new quantum Kolmogorov complexity restricted to the classical domain. Quantum Kolmogorov complexity is upper bounded and can be effectively approxi...

The information in an individual finite object (like a binary string) is commonly measured by its Kolmogorov complexity. One can divide that information into two parts: the information accounting for the useful regularity present in the object and the information accounting for the remaining accidental information. There can be several ways (model classes) in which the regularity is expressed. ...

Kolmogorov Complexity and Games

In this survey we consider some results on Kolmogorov complexity whose proofs are based on interesting games. The close relation between Recursion theory, whose part is Kolmogorov complexity, and Game theory was revealed by Andrey Muchnik. In [10], he associated with every statement φ of Recursion theory a game Gφ that has the following properties. First, Gφ is a game with complete information ...
