This paper introduces a novel concept of interval probability measures that enables the representation of imprecise probabilities, or uncertainty, in a natural and coherent manner. Within an algebra of sets, we introduce a notion of weak…

Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers…

The r-th order nonlinearity of a Boolean function is the minimum number of elements that have to be changed in its truth table to arrive at a Boolean function of degree at most r. It is shown that the (suitably normalised) r-th order…

The distribution function of a random distance in three dimensions is given and some new three-dimensional d2-tests of randomness are suggested. We show that our test statistics are not correlated with the usual test statistics and are…

We use the martingale-theoretic approach of game-theoretic probability to incorporate imprecision into the study of randomness. In particular, we define several notions of randomness associated with interval, rather than precise,…

Let $(X_i)_{i \geq 1}$ and $(Y_i)_{i\geq1}$ be two independent sequences of independent identically distributed random variables taking their values in a common finite alphabet and having the same law. Let $LC_n$ be the length of the…

This paper has several objectives. First, it separates randomness from lawlessness and shows why even genuine randomness does not imply lawlessness. Second, it separates the question -why should I call a phenomenon random? (and answers it…

In the setting of nonstandard analysis we introduce the notion of flexible sequence. The terms of flexible sequences are external numbers. These are a sort of analogue for the classical \emph{O$ (\cdot ) $} and \emph{o$ (\cdot ) $} notation…

This article is a brief personal account of the past, present, and future of algorithmic randomness, emphasizing its role in inductive inference and artificial intelligence. It is written for a general audience interested in science and…

The notion of probability density for a random function is not as straightforward as in finite-dimensional cases. While a probability density function generally does not exist for functional data, we show that it is possible to develop the…

One of the major breakthroughs in science of the last (20th) century was building a bridge between the worlds of stochastic (random) systems and deterministic (dynamical) systems. It was started by the celebrated 1958 paper by…

The theory of digital sequences is a fundamental topic in QMC theory. Digital sequences are prototypes of sequences with low discrepancy. First examples were given by Il'ya Meerovich Sobol' and by Henri Faure with their famous…

We use the $f-divergence$ also called relative entropy as a measure of diversity between probability densities and review its basic properties. In the sequence we define a few objects which capture relevant information from the sample of a…

We introduce a new, elementary method for studying random differences in arithmetic progressions and convergence phenomena along random sequences of integers. We apply our method to obtain significant improvements on previously known…

Kobayashi introduced a uniform notion of compressibility of infinite binary sequences in terms of relative Turing computations with sub-identity use of the oracle. Kobayashi compressibility has remained a relatively obscure notion, with the…

Motivated by the Berry-Tabor Conjecture and the seminal work of Rudnick-Sarnak, the fine-scale properties of sequences $(a_n\alpha)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \mod 1$ with $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \subseteq \mathbb{N} $ and $\alpha$ irrational…

The hypothesis of the random flow of time is considered. To do this, the concepts of microscopic random time and macroscopic mean time, as well as random modular time are introduced. The possibilities of experimental verification of the…

Algorithms in machine learning and AI do critically depend on at least three key components: (i) the risk function, which is the expectation of the loss function, (ii) the function space, which is often called the hypothesis space, and…

Certain trace inequalities related to matrix logarithm are shown. These results enable us to give a partial answer of the open problem conjectured by A.S.Holevo. That is, concavity of the auxiliary function which appears in the random…

Classical versions of Kolmogorov complexity are incomputable. Nevertheless, in 1975 Solovay showed that there are computable functions $f > K+O(1)$ such that for infinitely many strings $\sigma$, $f(\sigma)=K(\sigma)+O(1)$, where $K$…
