Towards an Axiomatic System for Kolmogorov Complexity
Abstract. In [She82], it is shown that four of its basic functional properties are enough to characterize plain Kolmogorov complexity, hence obtaining an axiomatic characterization...

Rate distortion and denoising of individual data using Kolmogorov complexity
We examine the structure of families of distortion balls from the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. Special attention is paid to the canonical rate-distortion function of a so...

Information measures for infinite sequences
We revisit the notion of computational depth and sophistication for infinite sequences and study the density of the sets of deep and sophisticated infinite sequences. Koppel defin...

Possibilities and impossibilities in Kolmogorov complexity extraction
Randomness extraction is the process of constructing a source of randomness of high quality from one or several sources of randomness of lower quality. The problem can be modeled ...

Kolmogorov Complexity in perspective. Part I: Information Theory and Randomnes
We survey diverse approaches to the notion of information: from Shannon entropy to Kolmogorov complexity. Two of the main applications of Kolmogorov complexity are presented: rand...

L-Printable Sets
A language is L-printable if there is a logspace algorithm which, on input 1n, prints all members in the language of length n. Following the work of Allender and Rubinstein [SIAM J...

Construction of expanders and superconcentrators using Kolmogorov complexity
We show the existence of various versions of expander graphs using Kolmogorov complexity. This method seems superior to the usual probabilistic construction. It turns out that the...

Shannon Information and Kolmogorov Complexity
The elementary theories of Shannon information and Kolmogorov complexity are cmpared, the extent to which they have a common purpose, and where they are fundamentally different. T...

Approximating Rate-Distortion Graphs of Individual Data: Experiments in Lossy Compression and Denoising
Classical rate-distortion theory requires knowledge of an elusive source distribution. Instead, we analyze rate-distortion properties of individual objects using the recently devel...
