Given a $p$-coin that lands heads with unknown probability $p$, we wish to produce an $f(p)$-coin for a given function $f: (0,1) \rightarrow (0,1)$. This problem is commonly known as the Bernoulli Factory and results on its solvability and…

We investigate which infinite binary sequences (reals) are effectively random with respect to some continuous (i.e., non-atomic) probability measure. We prove that for every n, all but countably many reals are n-random for such a measure,…

Many automatic sequences, such as the Thue-Morse sequence or the Rudin-Shapiro sequence, have some desirable features of pseudorandomness such as a large linear complexity and a small well-distribution measure. However, they also have some…

Schnorr showed that a real is Martin-Loef random if and only if all of its initial segments are incompressible with respect to prefix-free complexity. Fortnow and independently Nies, Stephan and Terwijn noticed that this statement remains…

Solomonoff's central result on induction is that the posterior of a universal semimeasure M converges rapidly and with probability 1 to the true sequence generating posterior mu, if the latter is computable. Hence, M is eligible as a…

Let $(S_n^p)_{n\geq 0}$ be a Bernoulli random walk where each of the independent increments is either $1$ or $-1$ with probabilities $p$ and $1-p$. For $p'$ and $p'' \in [0,1]$ with $|p'-1/2|>|p''-1/2|$, we show that $(|S_n^{p''}|)_{n\geq…

A Bernoulli factory is an algorithmic procedure for exact sampling of certain random variables having only Bernoulli access to their parameters. Bernoulli access to a parameter $p \in [0,1]$ means the algorithm does not know $p$, but has…

In this survey we discuss work of Levin and V'yugin on collections of sequences that are non-negligible in the sense that they can be computed by a probabilistic algorithm with positive probability. More precisely, Levin and V'yugin…

We present a positive solution to the so-called Bernoulli Conjecture concerning the characterization of sample boundedness of Bernoulli processes. We also discuss some applications and related open problems.

We study the topology of a random cubical complex associated to Bernoulli site percolation on a cubical grid. We begin by establishing a limit law for homotopy types. More precisely, looking within an expanding window, we define a sequence…

The first part of this paper is another English translation of a 1986 note. It gives a natural definition of a finite Bernoulli sequence (i.e., a typical realization of a finite sequence of binary IID trials) and compares it with the…

In this note, we study a class of random subsets of positive integers induced by Bernoulli random variables. We obtain sufficient conditions such that the random set is almost surely lacunary, does not have bounded gaps and contains…

It is well known that there is no direct one-to-one relation between $p$-values and likelihood ratios or Bayes factors, since their relation crucially involves the sample size $n$. We investigate their (asymptotic) relation in a…

The Bernoulli convolution with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure $\mu_\lambda$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum_{n\ge0}\pm\lambda^n$, where the signs are independent unbiased coin tosses. We prove that each…
