Abstract

Let Θ\Theta be a finite alphabet. We consider a bundle of measure preserving transformations (Tθ)θΘ(T_{\theta})_{\theta \in \Theta} acting on a probability space (X,μ)(X,\mu), which are chosen randomly according to an ergodic stochastic process (Ξ,ν,σ)(\Xi,\nu,\sigma) with state space Θ\Theta. This describes a paradigmatic case of a random dynamical system (RDS). Considering a finite partition P\mathcal{P} of XX we show that the conditional algorithmic complexity of a random orbit x,Tα0(x),Tα1Tα0(x),...x, T_{\alpha_{0}}(x),T_{\alpha_{1}}\circ T_{\alpha_{0}}(x),... in XX along a sequence α=α0α1α2...\alpha = \alpha_{0}\alpha_{1}\alpha_{2}... in Ξ\Xi equals almost surely the fiber entropy of the RDS with respect to P\mathcal{P}, whenever the latter is ergodic. This extends a classical result of A. A. Brudno connecting algorithmic complexity and entropy in deterministic dynamical systems.
