In this paper we provide an easy proof of Barmpalias--Lewis-Pye result saying that all computable increasing sequences converging to random reals converge with the same speed (up to a $c+o(1)$ factor) by noting that it immediately follows…

A pseudorandom point in an ergodic dynamical system over a computable metric space is a point which is computable but its dynamics has the same statistical behavior as a typical point of the system. It was proved in [Avigad et al. 2010,…

The approximation of natural numbers subsets has always been one of the fundamental issues in computability theory. Computable approximation, $\Delta_2$-approximation, as well as introducing the generically computable sets have been some…

We introduce a notion of computable randomness for infinite sequences that generalises the classical version in two important ways. First, our definition of computable randomness is associated with imprecise probability models, in the sense…

Approximate computing is a computation domain which can be used to trade time and energy with quality and therefore is useful in embedded systems. Energy is the prime resource in battery-driven embedded systems, like robots. Approximate…

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…

This paper defines a new notion of bounded computable randomness for certain classes of sub-computable functions which lack a universal machine. In particular, we define such versions of randomness for primitive recursive functions and for…

Stochastic approximation is a foundation for many algorithms found in machine learning and optimization. It is in general slow to converge: the mean square error vanishes as $O(n^{-1})$. A deterministic counterpart known as quasi-stochastic…

For any class of operators which transform unary total functions in the set of natural numbers into functions of the same kind, we define what it means for a real function to be uniformly computable or conditionally computable with respect…

A semi-measure is a generalization of a probability measure obtained by relaxing the additivity requirement to super-additivity. We introduce and study several randomness notions for left-c.e. semi-measures, a natural class of effectively…

The upper limit on what is computable in our universe is unknown, but widely believed to be set by the Turing machine -- with a function being physically computable if and only if it is Turing-computable. I show how this apparently mild…

Martin-L\"of (ML)-reducibility compares $K$-trivial sets by examining the Martin-L\"of random sequences that compute them. We show that every $K$-trivial set is computable from a c.e.\ set of the same ML-degree. We investigate the interplay…

We introduce a family of random $c$-L\"uroth transformations $\{L_c\}_{c \in [0, \frac12]}$, obtained by randomly combining the standard and alternating L\"uroth maps with probabilities $p$ and $1-p$, $0 < p < 1$, both defined on the…

We introduce new definitions of universal and superuniversal computable codes, which are based on a code's ability to approximate Kolmogorov complexity within the prescribed margin for all individual sequences from a given set. Such sets of…
