We study the possible growth rates of the Kolmogorov complexity of initial segments of sequences that are random with respect to some computable measure on $2^\omega$, the so-called proper sequences. Our main results are as follows: (1) We…

A result of Deza, Levin, Meesum, and Onn shows that the problem of deciding if a given sequence is the degree sequence of a 3-uniform hypergraph is NP complete. We tackle this problem in the random case and show that a random integer…

There are many randomness notions. On the classical account, many of them are about whether a given infinite binary sequence is random for some given probability. If so, this probability turns out to be the same for all these notions, so…

In this article, we study the relationship between notions of depth for sequences, namely, Bennett's notions of strong and weak depth, and deep $\Pi^0_1$ classes, introduced by the authors and motivated by previous work of Levin. For the…

We characterize some major algorithmic randomness notions via differentiability of effective functions. (1) As the main result we show that a real number z in [0,1] is computably random if and only if each nondecreasing computable function…

Reimann and Slaman initiated the study of sequences that are Martin-L\"of random with respect to a continuous measure, establishing fundamental facts about NCR, the collection of sequences that are not Martin-L\"of random with respect to…

A coarse description of a subset A of omega is a subset D of omega such that the symmetric difference of A and D has asymptotic density 0. We study the extent to which noncomputable information can be effectively recovered from all coarse…

Posner and Robinson (1981) proved that if $S \subseteq \omega$ is non-computable, then there exists a $G \subseteq \omega$ such that $S \oplus G \geq_T G'$. Shore and Slaman (1999) extended this result to all $n \in \omega$, by showing that…

We define Poisson genericity for infinite sequences in any finite or countable alphabet with an invariant exponentially-mixing probability measure. A sequence is Poisson generic if the number of occurrences of blocks of symbols…

The ensemble inter-relations to be considered are special features of classical cases, where the joint eigenvalue probability density can be computed explicitly. Attention will be focussed too on the consequences of these inter-relations,…

A fruitful way of obtaining meaningful, possibly concrete, algorithmically random numbers is to consider a potential behaviour of a Turing machine and its probability with respect to a measure (or semi-measure) on the input space of binary…

We describe random processes (with binary alphabet) whose entropy is less than 1 (per letter), but they mimic true random process, i.e., by definition, generated sequence can be interpreted as the result of the flips of a fair coin with…

The Turing degree of a real measures the computational difficulty of producing its binary expansion. Since Turing degrees are tailsets, it follows from Kolmogorov's 0-1 law that for any property which may or may not be satisfied by any…

The classic model of computable randomness considers martingales that take real or rational values. Recent work by Bienvenu et al. (2012) and Teutsch (2014) shows that fundamental features of the classic model change when the martingales…

This paper introduces and studies a notion of \emph{algorithmic randomness} for subgroups of rationals. Given a randomly generated additive subgroup $(G,+)$ of rationals, two main questions are addressed: first, what are the model-theoretic…

Motivated by earlier results on universal randomized guessing, we consider an individual-sequence approach to the guessing problem: in this setting, the goal is to guess a secret, individual (deterministic) vector $x^n=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$, by…
