چکیده

We define a program size complexity function H∞ as a variant of the prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity, based on Turing monotone machines performing possibly unending computations. We consider definitions of randomness and triviality for sequences in {0, 1} relative to the H∞ complexity. We prove that the classes of Martin-Löf random sequences and H∞-random sequences coincide, and that the H∞-trivial sequences are exactly the recursive ones. We also study some properties of H∞ and compare it with other complexity functions. In particular, H∞ is different from H, the prefix-free complexity of monotone machines with oracle A.

Kolmogorov Complexity for Possibly Infinite Computations

In this paper we study the Kolmogorov complexity for non-effective computations, that is, either halting or non-halting computations on Turing machines. This complexity function is defined as the length of the shortest inputs that produce a desired output via a possibly non-halting computation. Clearly this function gives a lower bound of the classical Kolmogorov complexity. In particular, if t...

ETH Library Infinite vs. Finite Size-Bounded Randomized Computations

Randomized computations can be very powerful with respect to space complexity, e. g., for logarithmic space, LasVegas is equivalent to nondeterminism. This power depends on the possibility of infinite computations, however, it is an open question if they are necessary. We answer this question for rotating finite automata (rfas) and sweeping finite automata (sfas). We show that LasVegas rfas (sf...

In this paper we will present an adaptive wavelet scheme to solvethe generalized Stokes problem. Using divergence free wavelets, theproblem is transformed into an equivalent matrix vector system, thatleads to a positive definite system of reduced size for thevelocity. This system is solved iteratively, where the applicationof the infinite stiffness matrix, that is sufficiently compressible,is r...
