Descriptional complexity is the study of the conciseness of the various models representing formal languages. The state complexity of a regular language is the size, measured by the number of states of the smallest, either deterministic or…

In this paper, we present some results on information, complexity and entropy as defined below and we discuss their relations with the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy which is the most important invariant of a dynamical system. These results have…

We prove the formula C(a,b) = K(a|C(a,b)) + C(b|a,C(a,b)) + O(1) that expresses the plain complexity of a pair in terms of prefix and plain conditional complexities of its components.

Peter Gacs showed (Gacs 1974) that for every n there exists a bit string x of length n whose plain complexity C(x) has almost maximal conditional complexity relative to x, i.e., C(C(x)|x) > log n - log^(2) n - O(1). (Here log^(2) i = log…

We extend algorithmic information theory to quantum mechanics, taking a universal semicomputable density matrix (``universal probability'') as a starting point, and define complexity (an operator) as its negative logarithm. A number of…

It is well known that normality can be described as incompressibility via finite automata. Still the statement and the proof of this result as given by Becher and Heiber (2013) in terms of "lossless finite-state compressors" do not follow…

The provably asymptotically fastest algorithm within a factor of 5 for formally described problems will be constructed. The main idea is to enumerate all programs provably equivalent to the original problem by enumerating all proofs. The…

The piecewise complexity $h(u)$ of a word is the minimal length of subwords needed to exactly characterise $u$. Its piecewise minimality index $\rho(u)$ is the smallest length $k$ such that $u$ is minimal among its order-$k$ class $[u]_k$…

We propose an extension of the framework for discussing the computational complexity of problems involving uncountably many objects, such as real numbers, sets and functions, that can be represented only through approximation. The key idea…
