Randomness in Computability Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss some aspects of algorithmic randomness and state some open problems in this area. The rst part is devoted to the question \What is a computably random sequence?" Here we survey some of the approaches to algorithmic randomness and address some questions on these concepts. In the second part we look at the Turing degrees of Martin-LL of random sets. Finally, in the third part we deal with relativized randomness. Here we look at oracles which do not change randomness.

On Elementary Computability-Theoretic Properties of Algorithmic Randomness
In this paper we apply some elementary computability-theoretic notions to algorithmic complexity theory with the aim of understanding the role and extent of computability techniques for algorithmic complexity theory. We study some computability-theoretic properties of two different notions of randomness for finite strings: randomness based on the blank-endmarker complexity measure and Chaitin’s...

متن کاملComputability theory, algorithmic randomness and Turing's anticipation
This article looks at the applications of Turing’s Legacy in computation, particularly to the theory of algorithmic randomness, where classical mathematical concepts such as measure could be made computational. It also traces Turing’s anticipation of this theory in an early manuscript.
متن کاملAlgorithmic randomness and measures of complexity
We survey recent advances on the interface between computability theory and algorithmic randomness, with special attention on measures of relative complexity. We focus on (weak) reducibilities that measure (a) the initial segment complexity of reals and (b) the power of reals to compress strings, when they are used as oracles. The results are put into context and several connections are made wi...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Foundations of Randomness
Wegive anontechnical account of themathematical theoryof randomness. The theory of randomness is founded on computability theory, and it is nowadays often referred to as algorithmic randomness. It comes in two varieties: A theory of finite objects, that emerged in the 1960s through the work of Solomonoff, Kolmogorov, Chaitin and others, and a theory of infinite objects (starting with von Mises ...
