MASS PROBLEMS AND INITIAL SEGMENT COMPLEXITY.

By the complexity of a finite sequence of 0's and 1's we mean the Kolmogorov complexity, that is the length of the shortest input to a universal recursive function which returns the given sequence as output. By initial segment complexity of an infinite sequence of 0's and 1's we mean the asymptotic...

      ab: By the complexity of a finite sequence of 0's and 1's we mean the Kolmogorov complexity, that is the length of the shortest input to a universal recursive function which returns the given sequence as output. By initial segment complexity of an infinite sequence of 0's and 1's we mean the asymptotic behavior of the complexity of its finite initial segments. In this paper, we construct infinite sequences of 0's and 1's with given recursive lower bounds on initial segment complexity which do not compute any infinite sequences of 0's and 1's with a significantly larger recursive lower bound on initial segment complexity. This improves several known results about randomness extraction and separates many natural degrees in the lattice of Muchnik degrees.
