Abstract:

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 almost all n given n as input prints the n-prefix
of x. We prove that this bound is tight up to a constant factor.
