Abstract:

We present a brief survey of results on relations between the Kolmogorov
complexity of infinite strings and several measures of information content
(dimensions) known from dimension theory, information theory or fractal
geometry.

Special emphasis is laid on bounds on the complexity of strings in
constructively given subsets of the Cantor space. Finally, we compare the
Kolmogorov complexity to the subword complexity of infinite strings.
