Exact Expression For Information Distance

نویسنده

  • Paul M. B. Vitányi
چکیده

Information distance can be defined not only between two strings but also in a finite multiset of strings of cardinality greater than two. We give an elementary proof for expressing the information distance in conditional Kolmogorov complexity. It is exact since the lower bound equals the upper bound up to a constant additive term.

Exact L-distance from the Limit for Quicksort

Using a recursive approach, we obtain a simple exact expression for the L-distance from the limit in Régnier’s [5] classical limit theorem for the number of key comparisons required by QuickSort. A previous study by Fill and Janson [1] using a similar approach found that the d2-distance is of order between n −1 logn and n−1/2, and another by Neininger and Ruschendorf [4] found that the Zolotare...

Information and Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Pareto (IV), Burr, and Related Distributions

Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrix for multivariate Pareto, Burr and related distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in reliability, actuarial science, economics, finance and telecommunications. We showed that all the calculations can be obtained from one main moment multidimensional integr...
