Given a countable mathematical structure, its Scott sentence is a sentence of the infinitary logic $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1 \omega}$ that characterizes it among all countable structures. We can measure the complexity of a structure by the…
The main result is that: function descriptions are not made equal, and they can be categorised in at least two categories using various computational methods for function evaluation. The result affects Kolmogorov complexity and Random…
Although there is a somewhat standard formalization of computability on countable sets given by Turing machines, the same cannot be said about uncountable sets. Among the approaches to define computability in these sets, order-theoretic…
The set of all error--correcting block codes over a fixed alphabet with $q$ letters determines a recursively enumerable set of rational points in the unit square with coordinates $(R,\delta)$:= (relative transmission rate, relative minimal…
This paper is the extended version of On the Complexity of Infinite Advice Strings (ICALP 2018). We investigate a notion of comparison between infinite strings. In a general way, if M is a computation model (e.g. Turing machines) and C a…
We answer two open questions by (Gruber, Holzer, Kutrib, 2009) on the state-complexity of representing sub- or superword closures of context-free grammars (CFGs): (1) We prove a (tight) upper bound of $2^{\mathcal{O}(n)}$ on the size of…
In this paper, we present a theoretical effort to connect the theory of program size to psychology by implementing a concrete language of thought with Turing-computable Kolmogorov complexity (LT^2C^2) satisfying the following requirements:…
Let $K$ denote prefix-free Kolmogorov Complexity, and $K^A$ denote it relative to an oracle $A$. We show that for any $n$, $K^{\emptyset^{(n)}}$ is definable purely in terms of the unrelativized notion $K$. It was already known that…
We show that there are Turing complete computably enumerable sets of arbitrarily low non-trivial initial segment prefix-free complexity. In particular, given any computably enumerable set $A$ with non-trivial prefix-free initial segment…
A relatively new topic in computability theory is the study of notions of computation that are robust against mistakes on some kind of small set. However, despite the recent popularity of this topic relatively foundational questions about…
We establish diverse relationships between the algorithmic (Kolmogorov) complexity of the prefixes of any binary expansion and $\beta$-expansions. These relationships allow to develop intuitions on the complexity behavior of…
The linear complexity of a sequence $s$ is one of the measures of its predictability. It represents the smallest degree of a linear recursion which the sequence satisfies. There are several algorithms to find the linear complexity of a…
Nonlinear complexity, as an important measure for assessing the randomness of sequences, is defined as the length of the shortest feedback shift registers that can generate a given sequence. In this paper, the structure of n-periodic binary…
What is computable with limited resources? How can we verify the correctness of computations? How to measure computational power with precision? Despite the immense scientific and engineering progress in computing, we still have only…
In this paper, we define the linear complexity for multidimensional sequences over finite fields, generalizing the one-dimensional case. We give some lower and upper bounds, valid with large probability, for the linear complexity and…
We consider the complexity (in terms of the arithmetical hierarchy) of the various quantifier levels of the diagram of a computably presented metric structure. As the truth value of a sentence of continuous logic may be any real in $[0,1]$,…
Algebraic characterizations of the computational aspects of functions defined over the real numbers provide very effective tool to understand what computability and complexity over the reals, and generally over continuous spaces, mean. This…
Symmetry of information states that $C(x) + C(y|x) = C(x,y) + O(\log C(x))$. We show that a similar relation for online Kolmogorov complexity does not hold. Let the even (online Kolmogorov) complexity of an n-bitstring $x_1x_2... x_n$ be…
We are studying the degrees in which a computable structure is relatively computably categoricity, i.e., computably categorcial among all non-computable copies of the structure. Unlike the degrees of computable categoricity we can bound the…
The complexity of continuous piecewise affine (CPA) functions can be measured by the number of pieces $p$ or the number of distinct affine functions $n$. For CPA functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$, this paper shows an upper bound of $p=O(n^{d+1})$…
