Publisher: arXiv.org
Number of pages: 51

Description:
Algorithmic information theory studies description complexity and randomness and is now a well known field of theoretical computer science and mathematical logic. This report covers the basic notions of algorithmic information theory: Kolmogorov complexity (plain, conditional, prefix), Solomonoff universal a priori probability, notions of randomness, effective Hausdorff dimension.
