Kolmogorov Structure Function - Contemporary Definition

Contemporary Definition

It is discussed in. It is extensively studied in where also the main properties are resolved. The Kolmogorov structure function can be written as

where x is a binary string of length n with where S is a contemplated model (set of n-length strings) for x, is the Kolmogorov complexity of S and is a nonnegative integer value bounding the complexity of the contemplated S's. Clearly, this function is nonincreasing and reaches for where c is the required number of bits to change x into and is the Kolmogorov complexity of x.

Famous quotes containing the words contemporary and/or definition:

    ... contemporary black women felt they were asked to choose between a black movement that primarily served the interests of black male patriarchs and a women’s movement which primarily served the interests of racist white women.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
