A Tight Upper Bound on Kolmogorov

نویسنده

چکیده

The present paper links the concepts of Kolmogorov complexity (in Complexity theory) and Hausdorr dimension (in Fractal geometry) for a class of recursive (computable) !-languages. It is shown that the complexity of an innnite string contained in a 2-deenable set of strings is upper bounded by the Hausdorr dimension of this set and that this upper bound is tight. Moreover, we show that there are computable gambling strategies guaranteeing a uniform prediction quality arbitrarily close to the optimal one estimated by Hausdorr dimension and Kolmogorov complexity provided the gambler's adversary plays according to a sequence chosen from a 2-deenable set of strings. We provide also examples which give evidence that our results do not extend further in the Arithmetical hierarchy.

Sharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs

In $1994,$ degree distance  of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of  multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the  multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

Upper semicomputable sumtests for lower semicomputable semimeasures

A sumtest for a discrete semimeasure P is a function f mapping bitstrings to non-negative rational numbers such that ∑ P (x)f(x) ≤ 1 . Sumtests are the discrete analogue of Martin-Löf tests. The behavior of sumtests for computable P seems well understood, but for some applications lower semicomputable P seem more appropriate. In the case of tests for independence, it is natural to consider uppe...

A Tight Upper Bound of the Lumped Disk Seek Time for the Scan Disk Scheduling Policy

A tight upper bound of the lumped disk seek time for the Scan disk scheduling policy is presented. The tight upper bound is based on an accurate disk seek time model. One of the most important applications of the tight upper bound is in multimedia storage system design. Without a tight upper bound based on an accurate disk seek time model, the designers of multimedia storage systems would be fo...

A generalized upper bound solution for bimetallic rod extrusion through arbitrarily curved dies

In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the extrusion process of bimetallic rods through arbitrarily curved dies. Based on a spherical velocity field, internal, shearing and frictional power terms are calculated. The developed upper bound solution is used for calculating the extrusion force for two types of die shapes: a conical die as a linear die profile and a streamlined di...
