Typicalness - measure theory, martingales

  • Calibration of notion "sets of measure zero"
  • Martin-Löf tests, Schnorr tests and their modifications
  • Universal Martin-Löf test
  • Basic properties of ML-random sets
  • Relativization of Martin-Löf randomness, van Lambalgen theorem
  • Martingales, randomness defined by various classes of martingales

Incompressibility - Kolmogorov complexity

  • Plain and prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity
  • Chaitin-randomness, equivalence of Martin-Löf randomness and Chaitin randomness
  • Halting probability, Omega-number
  • Algorithmic weakness, K-trivial sets

Entry requirements - Czech
