Chain Rules for Time-Bounded Kolmogorov Complexity

Time-bounded conditional Kolmogorov complexity of a string $x$ given $y$, $K^t(x\mid y)$, is the length of a shortest program that, given $y$, prints $x$ within $t$ steps. The Chain Rule for conditional $K^t$ with error $e$ is the following hypothesis: there is a constant $c\in\mathbb{N}$ such that, for any strings ... more >>>
