This paper constructs a solvability theory for a system of stochastic partial differential equations. On account of the Kolmogorov continuity theorem, solutions are looked for in certain H\"older-type classes in which a random field is…

In the paper, the authors present several new relations and applications for the combinatorial sequence that counts the possible partitions of a finite set with the restriction that the size of each block is contained in a given set. One of…

In this paper, we investigate several types of low complexity of finite partitions, including precompactness, zero maximal pattern entropy, bounded mean complexity and mean equicontinuity. We first show that a collection of finite…

Based on an idea of Y. P\'eresse and some results of Maltcev, Mitchell and Ru\v{s}kuc, we present sufficient conditions under which the endomorphism monoid of a countably infinite ultrahomogeneous first-order structure has the Bergman…

We consider a category of all finite partial orderings with quotient maps as arrows and construct a Fra\"iss\'e sequence in this category. Then we use commonly known relations between partial orders and lattices to construct a sequence of…

The Coding Theorem of L.A. Levin connects unconditional prefix Kolmogorov complexity with the discrete universal distribution. There are conditional versions referred to in several publications but as yet there exist no written proofs in…

For a finite word $w$ we define and study the Kolmogorov structure function $h_w$ for nondeterministic automatic complexity. We prove upper bounds on $h_w$ that appear to be quite sharp, based on numerical evidence.

We investigate infinite-exponent partition relations on arbitrary relational structures, with a focus on linear orders and graphs. Any such relation contradicts the Axiom of Choice. We show that there are some such relations which are…

We prove a Kolmogorov complexity variant of the birthday paradox. Sufficiently sized random subsets of strings are guaranteed to have two members x and y with low K(x/y). To prove this, we first show that the minimum conditional Kolmogorov…

The information in an individual finite object (like a binary string) is commonly measured by its Kolmogorov complexity. One can divide that information into two parts: the information accounting for the useful regularity present in the…

We introduce the notion of a restricted exchangeable partition of $\mathbb{N}$. We obtain integral representations, consider associated fragmentations, embeddings into continuum random trees and convergence to such limit trees. In…

Kolmogorov complexity theory is used to tell what the algorithmic informational content of a string is. It is defined as the length of the shortest program that describes the string. We present a programming language that can be used to…

Gromov asked what a typical (finitely presented) group looks like, and he suggested a way to make the question precise in terms of limiting density. The typical finitely generated group is known to share some important properties with the…

Every partition of [[omega_1]^{< omega}]^2 into finitely many pieces has a cofinal homogeneous set. Furthermore, it is consistent that every directed partially ordered set satisfies the partition property if and only if it has finite…

The fragmentation processes of exchangeable partitions have already been studied by several authors. In this paper, we examine rather fragmentation of exchangeable compositions, that means partitions of $\mathbb{N}$ where the order of the…

A theorem of A.A. Brudno says that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of a subshift X over $\mathbb{N}$ with respect to an ergodic measure $\mu$ equals the asymptotic Kolmogorov complexity of almost every word $\omega$ in X. The purpose of this…

In the theory of algorithmic randomness, several notions of random sequence are defined via a game-theoretic approach, and the notions that received most attention are perhaps Martin-Loef randomness and computable randomness. The latter…
