We consider random fields that can be represented as integrals of deterministic functions with respect to infinitely divisible random measures and show that these random fields are infinitely divisible.

The intractability of any problem and the randomness of its solutions have an obvious intuitive connection. However, the challenge till now has been that there is no practical way to firmly establish if the solution to a problem is actually…

We extend the definition of Jamison sequences in the context of topological abelian groups. Then we study such sequences when the abelian group is discrete and countably infinite. An arithmetical characterization of such sequences is…

A set is introreducible if it can be computed by every infinite subset of itself. Such a set can be thought of as coding information very robustly. We investigate introreducible sets and related notions. Our two main results are that the…

In the present paper we generate binary pseudorandom sequences using generalized polynomials. A generalized polynomial is a function in whose description we not only allow addition and product (as it is the case in usual polynomials) but…

An infinite binary sequence is Bennett deep if, for any computable time bound, the difference between the time-bounded prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity and the prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity of its initial segments is eventually…

A common assumption in causal inference is that random treatment assignment ensures that potential outcomes are independent of treatment, or in one word, unconfoundedness. This paper highlights that randomization and unconfoundedness are…

We show that in the setting of fair-coin measure on the power set of the natural numbers, each sufficiently random set has an infinite subset that computes no random set. That is, there is an almost sure event $\mathcal A$ such that if…

We review possible measures of complexity which might in particular be applicable to situations where the complexity seems to arise spontaneously. We point out that not all of them correspond to the intuitive (or "naive") notion, and that…

The notion of probability plays an important role in almost all areas of science and technology. In modern mathematics, however, probability theory means nothing other than measure theory, and the operational characterization of the notion…

This paper presents a comparison of the quality of randomness of D sequences based on diehard tests. Since D sequences can model any random sequence, this comparison is of value beyond this specific class.

We consider self-averaging sequences in which each term is a weighted average over previous terms. For several sequences of this kind it is known that they do not converge to a limit. These sequences share the property that $n$th term is…

For a sequence of nonnegative random variables, we provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that each sequence of its forward convex combinations converges in probability to the same limit. These conditions correspond to…

This note examines the question of randomness in a sequence based on the continued fraction (CF) representation of its corresponding representation as a number, or as D sequence. We propose a randomness measure that is directly equal to the…

A construction of product measures is given for an arbitrary sequence of measure spaces via outer measure techniques without imposing any condition on the underlying measure spaces. This result generalises the ones given up to date.

A Barker sequence is a binary sequence for which all nontrivial aperiodic autocorrelations are at most 1 in magnitude. An old conjecture due to Turyn asserts that there is no Barker sequence of length greater than 13. In 1961, Turyn and…

The field of algorithmic randomness studies what it means for infinite binary sequences to be random for some given uncertainty model. Classically, martingale-theoretic notions of such randomness involve precise uncertainty models, and it…

This paper examines the randomness of d-sequences, which are decimal sequences to an arbitrary base. Our motivation is to check their suitability for application to cryptography, spread-spectrum systems and use as pseudorandom sequence.
