On Time-Bounded Incompressibility of Compressible Strings and Sequences


Abstract in English

For every total recursive time bound $t$, a constant fraction of all compressible (low Kolmogorov complexity) strings is $t$-bounded incompressible (high time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity); there are uncountably many infinite sequences of which every initial segment of length $n$ is compressible to $log n$ yet $t$-bounded incompressible below ${1/4}n - log n$; and there are countable infinitely many recursive infinite sequence of which every initial segment is similarly $t$-bounded incompressible. These results are related to, but different from, Barzdinss lemma.
