A new representation of Chaitin Omega number based on compressible strings | | Kohtaro Tadaki
; | | Date: |
5 Apr 2010 | | Abstract: | In 1975 Chaitin introduced his Omega number as a concrete example of random
real. The real Omega is defined based on the set of all halting inputs for an
optimal prefix-free machine U, which is a universal decoding algorithm used to
define the notion of program-size complexity. Chaitin showed Omega to be
random by discovering the property that the first n bits of the base-two
expansion of Omega solve the halting problem of U for all binary inputs of
length at most n. In this paper, we introduce a new representation Theta of
Chaitin Omega number. The real Theta is defined based on the set of all
compressible strings. We investigate the properties of Theta and show that
Theta is random. In addition, we generalize Theta to two directions Theta(T)
and ar{Theta}(T) with a real T>0. We then study their properties. In
particular, we show that the computability of the real Theta(T) gives a
sufficient condition for a real T in (0,1) to be a fixed point on partial
randomness, i.e., to satisfy the condition that the compression rate of T
equals to T. | | Source: | arXiv, 1004.0658 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
