A Chaitin Omega number is the halting probability of a universal Chaitin (self-delimiting Turing) machine. Every Omega number is both computably enumerable (the limit of a computable, increasing, converging sequence of rationals) and random…
Chaitin [G. J. Chaitin, J. Assoc. Comput. Mach., vol.22, pp.329-340, 1975] introduced \Omega number as a concrete example of random real. The real \Omega is defined as the probability that an optimal computer halts, where the optimal…
The halting probability of a Turing machine is the probability that the machine will halt if it starts with a random stream written on its one-way input tape. When the machine is universal, this probability is referred to as Chaitin's omega…
The halting probability of a Turing machine,also known as Chaitin's Omega, is an algorithmically random number with many interesting properties. Since Chaitin's seminal work, many popular expositions have appeared, mainly focusing on the…
In 1975 Chaitin introduced his \Omega number as a concrete example of random real. The real \Omega is defined based on the set of all halting inputs for an optimal prefix-free machine U, which is a universal decoding algorithm used to…
A fruitful way of obtaining meaningful, possibly concrete, algorithmically random numbers is to consider a potential behaviour of a Turing machine and its probability with respect to a measure (or semi-measure) on the input space of binary…
This paper proposes an extension of Chaitin's halting probability \Omega to a measurement operator in an infinite dimensional quantum system. Chaitin's \Omega is defined as the probability that the universal self-delimiting Turing machine U…
In 1975, Chaitin introduced his celebrated Omega number, the halting probability of a universal Chaitin machine, a universal Turing machine with a prefix-free domain. The Omega number's bits are {\em algorithmically random}--there is no…
It would be a heavenly reward if there were a method of weighing theories and sentences in such a way that a theory could never prove a heavier sentence (Chaitin's Heuristic Principle). Alas, no satisfactory measure has been found so far,…
Consider a universal Turing machine that produces a partial or total function (or a binary stream), based on the answers to the binary queries that it makes during the computation. We study the probability that the machine will produce a…
We prove that every computably enumerable (c.e.) random real is provable in Peano Arithmetic (PA) to be c.e. random. A major step in the proof is to show that the theorem stating that "a real is c.e. and random iff it is the halting…
The halting probabilities of universal prefix-free machines are universal for the class of reals with computably enumerable left cut (also known as left-c.e. reals), and coincide with the Martin-Loef random elements of this class. We study…
The $\Omega$ numbers-the halting probabilities of universal prefix-free machines-are known to be exactly the Martin-L{\"o}f random left-c.e. reals. We show that one cannot uniformly produce, from a Martin-L{\"o}f random left-c.e. real…
We present a new method for expressing Chaitin's random real, Omega, through Diophantine equations. Where Chaitin's method causes a particular quantity to express the bits of Omega by fluctuating between finite and infinite values, in our…
We prove that, assuming $\mathrm{ZF}$, and restricted to any pointed set, Chaitin's $\Omega_U:x\mapsto \Omega_U^x=\sum_{U^x(\sigma)\downarrow}2^{-|\sigma|}$ is not injective for any universal prefix-free Turing machine $U$, and that…
This is the first of two papers devoted to connections between asymptotic functions of groups and computational complexity. One of the main results of this paper states that if for every $m$ the first $m$ digits of a real number $\alpha\ge…
We introduce the zeta number, natural halting probability and natural complexity of a Turing machine and we relate them to Chaitin's Omega number, halting probability, and program-size complexity. A classification of Turing machines…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of synthesizing computable functions of infinite words over an infinite alphabet (data omega-words). The notion of computability is defined through Turing machines with infinite inputs which can…
We investigate the continuous function $f$ defined by $$x\mapsto \sum_{\sigma\le_L x }2^{-K(\sigma)}$$ as a variant of Chaitin's Omega from the perspective of analysis, computability, and algorithmic randomness. Among other results, we…
Infinite time Turing machine models with tape length $\alpha$, denoted $T_\alpha$, strengthen the machines of Hamkins and Kidder [HL00] with tape length $\omega$. A new phenomenon is that for some countable ordinals $\alpha$, some cells…
