On Polynomially Time Bounded Symmetry of Information

The information contained in a string $x$ about a string $y$
is defined as the difference between the Kolmogorov complexity
of $y$ and the conditional Kolmogorov complexity of $y$ given $x$,
i.e., $I(x:y)=\C(y)-\C(y|x)$. From the well-known Kolmogorov--Levin Theorem it follows that $I(x:y)$ is symmetric up to a small ... more >>>

Kolmogorov complexity of enumerating finite sets

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.

Scaled dimension and the Kolmogorov complexity of Turing hard sets

Scaled dimension has been introduced by Hitchcock et al (2003) in order to quantitatively distinguish among classes such as SIZE(2^{a n}) and SIZE(2^{n^{a}}) that have trivial dimension and measure in ESPACE.
