Abstract

Upper semi­lattice of binary strings with the relation
``x is simple conditional to y''
Andrei Muchnik, Andrei Romashchenko, Alexander Shen, Nikolai Vereshagin

We study the properties of the set of binary strings with the relation
``the Kolmogorov complexity of x conditional to y is small''. We prove that
there are pairs of strings which have no greatest common lower bound with
respect to this pre­order. We present several examples when the greatest
common lower bound exists but its complexity is much less than mutual
information (extending G'acs and K¨orner result).
