Kolmogorov Complexity and Computational Complexity

The mathematical theory of computation has given rise to two important ap­ proaches to the informal notion of "complexity": Kolmogorov complexity, usu­ ally a complexity measure for a single object such as a string, a sequence etc., measures the amount of information necessary to describe...
