A New Approach to Formal Language Theory by Kolmogorov Complexity
Ming Li, Paul Vitanyi
We present a new approach to formal language theory using Kolmogorov complexity. The main results presented here are an alternative for pumping lemma(s), a new characterization for…
A Lower Bound on the Average-Case Complexity of Shellsort
Tao Jiang, Ming Li, Paul Vitanyi
We prove a general lower bound on the average-case complexity of Shellsort: the average number of data-movements (and comparisons) made by a -pass Shellsort for any incremental…
New Applications of the Incompressibility Method: Part I
Tao Jiang, Ming Li, Paul Vitanyi
The incompressibility method is an elementary yet powerful proof technique. It has been used successfully in many areas. To further demonstrate its power and elegance we exhibit ne…
