Logical operations and Kolmogorov complexity

We define Kolmogorov complexity of a set of strings as the minimal
Kolmogorov complexity of its element. Consider three logical
operations on sets going back to Kolmogorov
and Kleene:
(A OR B) is the direct sum of A,B,
(A AND B) is the cartesian product of A,B,

Descriptive complexity of computable sequences

We study different notions of descriptive complexity of
computable sequences. Our main result states that if for almost all
n the Kolmogorov complexity of the n-prefix of an infinite
binary sequence x conditional to n
is less than m then there is a program of length
m^2+O(1) that for ... more >>>

Kolmogorov Complexity Conditional to Large Integers

Assume that for almost all n Kolmogorov complexity
of a string x conditional to n is less than m.
We prove that in this case
there is a program of size m+O(1) that given any sufficiently large
n outputs x.
