Exploring Overall and Component Complexities via Relative Complexity Change and Interacting Complexity Amplitudes in the Kolmogorov Plane: A Case Study of U.S. Rivers [PDF]
One of the most challenging tasks in studying streamflow is quantifying how the complexities of environmental and dynamic parameters contribute to the overall system complexity.

Topological arguments for Kolmogorov complexity [PDF]
We present several application of simple topological arguments in problems of Kolmogorov complexity. Basically we use the standard fact from topology that the disk is simply connected.

Approximating Kolmogorov complexity
It is well known that the Kolmogorov complexity function (the minimal length of a program producing a given string, when an optimal programming language is used) is not computable and, moreover, does not have computable lower bounds. In this paper we investigate a more general question: can this function be approximated?

Kolmogorov Complexity of Coronary Sinus Atrial Electrograms Before Ablation Predicts Termination of Atrial Fibrillation After Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is related to a very complex local electrical activity reflected in the rich morphology of intracardiac electrograms. The link between electrogram complexity and efficacy of the catheter ablation is unclear.

Entropy Measures vs. Kolmogorov Complexity
Kolmogorov complexity and Shannon entropy are conceptually different measures. However, for any recursive probability distribution, the expected value of Kolmogorov complexity equals its Shannon entropy, up to a constant.

Time Series Correlations and Kolmogorov Complexity: A Hausdorff Dimension Perspective [PDF]
Spurious correlations between time series are a persistent problem: simple, low-complexity patterns are abundant, so unrelated series can easily exhibit high Pearson correlation.

An Additively Optimal Interpreter for Approximating Kolmogorov Prefix Complexity
We study practical approximations of Kolmogorov prefix complexity (K) using IMP2, a high-level programming language. Our focus is on investigating the optimality of the interpreter for this language as the reference machine for the Coding Theorem Method (

Increasing Kolmogorov Complexity [PDF]
How much do we have to change a string to increase its Kolmogorov complexity? We show that we can increase the complexity of any non-random string of length n by flipping $O(\sqrt{n})$ bits and some strings require $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$ bit flips. For a given m, we also give bounds for increasing the complexity of a string by flipping m bits.

SECOND QUANTIZED KOLMOGOROV COMPLEXITY [PDF]
The Kolmogorov complexity of a string is the length of its shortest description. We define a second quantized Kolmogorov complexity where the length of a description is defined to be the average length of its superposition. We discuss this complexity's basic properties.

The term "complexity" has different meanings in different contexts. Computational complexity measures how much time or space is needed to perform some computational task. On the other hand, the complexity of description (called also Kolmogorov complexity) is the minimal number of information bits needed to define (describe) a given object.
