On the computational power of random strings
2009
Annals of Pure and Applied Logic
There are two fundamental computably enumerable sets associated with any Kolmogorov complexity measure. These are the set of non-random strings and the overgraph. ...
This paper investigates the computational power of these sets. It follows work done by Kummer, Muchnik and Positselsky, and Allender and co-authors. ...

Limits on the Computational Power of Random Strings
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(All of these inclusions hold, no matter which "universal" Turing machine one uses in the definitions of C(x) and K(x).) ...
Let C(x) and K(x) denote plain and prefix Kolmogorov complexity, respectively, and let R C and R K denote the sets of strings that are "random" according to these measures; both R K and R C are undecidable ...
Introduction The motivation for the research reported here comes from a body of work that seems to indicate that the set of "random strings" is quite powerful, where "randomness" is defined in terms of ...

Limits on the computational power of random strings

How powerful is the set of random strings? What can one say about a set A that is efficiently reducible to R, the set of Kolmogorov-random strings? ...
We present the first upper bound on the class of computable sets in P R and NP R . ...

Power from random strings
The 43rd Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2002. Proceedings.
When no resource bounds are present, the set of Kolmogorov random strings R K is easily seen to be co-r.e. and not decidable, but the complement of the halting problem is not reducible to R K via a many-one ...
The sets R µ of Kolmogorov random strings are good examples of sets with a lot of information content that is difficult to access. ...
We acknowledge illuminating discussions with Lance Fortnow, as well as helpful conversations of the first author with Paul Beame, Henry Cohn, Chris Umans, and Ramarathnam Venkatesan during a visit to Microsoft ...

Patterns hidden from simple algorithms
2011
Communications of the ACM
The key, this theory argues, is that randomness is really in the "eyes of the beholder", or rather in the computing power of the "tester" of randomness. ...
Knowing how an algorithm, or a computational process, works in the presence of somewhat random strings becomes the essence of a recurring question. ...
Given such major obstacles to analyzing the seeming randomness in strings, it is no surprise that the study of pseudo-randomness remains in its infancy. ...

Fast Spectral Tests for Measuring Nonrandomness and the DES
[chapter]
1988
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
One test, developed by J. Gait [l], considered properties of power spectra obtained from the discrete Fourier transform of finite binary strings. ...
By varying the number of DES rounds from 1 to 16, it was thought possible to gradually vary the degree of randomness of the resulting strings. ...
Nevertheless, on the basis of twenty-seven sample points taken from the power spectrum of one such sequence, the DES output was judged to be random. ...

In the Kolmogorov theory of randomness, there is no difference between the notions of random strings and random functions, since the cost of coding from one form into the other is ignored. ...
The notion of one-way functions is conceptually simpler than the notion of pseudo-random strings, and is obviously important for cryptography. ...

As long as the seed is not disclosed, no computational power that may fit in the whole universe can distinguish this array from truly random ones. ...
The next step came from cryptography of the 1980s. Many applications require only few properties of random strings. ...

pre-print
Our results imply that random matrices and the Wasserstein distance could be new tools for analyzing the performance of quantum computers. ...
The calculation of the Wasserstein distances shows that Google's random bit-strings are farther away from the Haar-measure random bit-strings than the classical random bit-strings. ...
