Abstract:

Solovay has proven that
the minimal length of a program enumerating a set A
is upper bounded by 3 times the absolute value of the
logarithm of the
probability that a random program will enumerate A.
It is unknown whether one can replace the constant
3 by a smaller constant.
In this paper, we show that the constant 3 can be replaced
by the constant 2 for finite sets A.
