Hardness Hypotheses, Derandomization, and Circuit Complexity

We consider hypotheses about nondeterministic computation that
have been studied in different contexts and shown to have interesting
consequences:

1. The measure hypothesis: NP does not have p-measure 0.

2. The pseudo-NP hypothesis: there is an NP language that can be
distinguished from any DTIME(2^n^epsilon) language by an ... more >>>

The Kolmogorov complexity of infinite words

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

The Complexity of Unions of Disjoint Sets

This paper is motivated by the open question
whether the union of two disjoint NP-complete sets always is
NP-complete. We discover that such unions retain
much of the complexity of their single components. More precisely,
they are complete with respect to more general reducibilities.
