Algorithmic Information Theory: Fundamentals and Applications
About this ebook
The field of theoretical computer science known as algorithmic information theory, or AIT for short, is concerned with the relationship between computation and information of computably generated things (as opposed to stochastically generated objects), such as strings or any other data structure. In other words, algorithmic information theory demonstrates that computational incompressibility "mimics" (with the exception of a constant that solely depends on the universal programming language that was selected) the relations or inequalities that are present in information theory. Gregory Chaitin explains that it is "the result of putting Shannon's information theory and Turing's computability theory into a cocktail shaker and shaking them vigorously."
