Abstract

We show that a sequence has effective Hausdorff dimension 1 if and only if it is coarsely similar to a Martin-L\"{o}f random sequence. More generally, a sequence has effective dimension ss if and only if it is coarsely similar to a weakly ss-random sequence. Further, for any s<ts<t, every sequence of effective dimension ss can be changed on density at most H1(t)H1(s)H^{-1}(t)-H^{-1}(s) of its bits to produce a sequence of effective dimension tt, and this bound is optimal.
