Extending the Reach of the Point-To-Set Principle

Authors: Jack H. Lutz, Neil Lutz, and Elvira Mayordomo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 219, 39th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2022)

Abstract
The point-to-set principle of J. Lutz and N. Lutz (2018) has recently enabled the theory of computing to be used to answer open questions about fractal geometry in Euclidean spaces ℝⁿ. These are classical questions, meaning that their statements do not involve computation or related aspects of logic. In this paper we extend the reach of the point-to-set principle from Euclidean spaces to arbitrary separable metric spaces X. We first extend two fractal dimensions - computability-theoretic versions of classical Hausdorff and packing dimensions that assign dimensions dim(x) and Dim(x) to individual points x ∈ X - to arbitrary separable metric spaces and to arbitrary gauge families. Our first two main results then extend the point-to-set principle to arbitrary separable metric spaces and to a large class of gauge families. We demonstrate the power of our extended point-to-set principle by using it to prove new theorems about classical fractal dimensions in hyperspaces. (For a concrete computational example, the stages E₀, E₁, E₂, … used to construct a self-similar fractal E in the plane are elements of the hyperspace of the plane, and they converge to E in the hyperspace.) Our third main result, proven via our extended point-to-set principle, states that, under a wide variety of gauge families, the classical packing dimension agrees with the classical upper Minkowski dimension on all hyperspaces of compact sets. We use this theorem to give, for all sets E that are analytic, i.e., Σ¹₁, a tight bound on the packing dimension of the hyperspace of E in terms of the packing dimension of E itself.

Asymptotic Divergences and Strong Dichotomy

Authors: Xiang Huang, Jack H. Lutz, Elvira Mayordomo, and Donald M. Stull

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 154, 37th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2020)

Abstract
The Schnorr-Stimm dichotomy theorem [Schnorr and Stimm, 1972] concerns finite-state gamblers that bet on infinite sequences of symbols taken from a finite alphabet Σ. The theorem asserts that, for any such sequence S, the following two things are true. (1) If S is not normal in the sense of Borel (meaning that every two strings of equal length appear with equal asymptotic frequency in S), then there is a finite-state gambler that wins money at an infinitely-often exponential rate betting on S. (2) If S is normal, then any finite-state gambler betting on S loses money at an exponential rate betting on S. In this paper we use the Kullback-Leibler divergence to formulate the lower asymptotic divergence div(S||α) of a probability measure α on Σ from a sequence S over Σ and the upper asymptotic divergence Div(S||α) of α from S in such a way that a sequence S is α-normal (meaning that every string w has asymptotic frequency α(w) in S) if and only if Div(S||α)=0. We also use the Kullback-Leibler divergence to quantify the total risk Risk_G(w) that a finite-state gambler G takes when betting along a prefix w of S. Our main theorem is a strong dichotomy theorem that uses the above notions to quantify the exponential rates of winning and losing on the two sides of the Schnorr-Stimm dichotomy theorem (with the latter routinely extended from normality to α-normality). Modulo asymptotic caveats in the paper, our strong dichotomy theorem says that the following two things hold for prefixes w of S. (1') The infinitely-often exponential rate of winning in 1 is 2^{Div(S||α)|w|}. (2') The exponential rate of loss in 2 is 2^{-Risk_G(w)}. We also use (1') to show that 1-Div(S||α)/c, where c= log(1/ min_{a∈Σ} α(a)), is an upper bound on the finite-state α-dimension of S and prove the dual fact that 1-div(S||α)/c is an upper bound on the finite-state strong α-dimension of S.

Authors: Veronica Becher, Laurent Bienvenu, Rodney Downey, and Elvira Mayordomo

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2012)

Abstract
Research on the notions of information and randomness has drawn on methods and ideas from computability theory and cumputational complexity, as well as core mathematical subjects like measure theory and information theory. The Dagstuhl seminar 12021 ``Computability, Complexity and Randomness'' was aimed to meet people and ideas in these areas to share new results and discuss open problems. This report collects the material presented during the course of the seminar.

Inseparability and Strong Hypotheses for Disjoint NP Pairs

Authors: Lance Fortnow, Jack H. Lutz, and Elvira Mayordomo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 5, 27th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (2010)

Abstract
This paper investigates the existence of inseparable disjoint pairs of NP languages and related strong hypotheses in computational complexity. Our main theorem says that, if NP does not have measure 0 in EXP, then there exist disjoint pairs of NP languages that are P-inseparable, in fact TIME(2(n k))-inseparable. We also relate these conditions to strong hypotheses concerning randomness and genericity of disjoint pairs.

Curves That Must Be Retraced

Authors: Xiaoyang Gu, Jack H. Lutz, and Elvira Mayordomo

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 11, 6th International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA'09) (2009)

Abstract
We exhibit a polynomial time computable plane curve ${\bf \Gamma}$ that has finite length, does not intersect itself, and is smooth except at one endpoint, but has the following property. For every computable parametrization $f$ of ${\bf\Gamma}$ and every positive integer $m$, there is some positive-length subcurve of ${\bf\Gamma}$ that $f$ retraces at least $m$ times. In contrast, every computable curve of finite length that does not intersect itself has a constant-speed (hence non-retracing) parametrization that is computable relative to the halting problem.

Pushdown Compression

Authors: Pilar Albert, Elvira Mayordomo, Philip Moser, and Sylvain Perifel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 1, 25th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (2008)

Abstract
The pressing need for efficient compression schemes for XML documents has recently been focused on stack computation (Hariharan and Shankar 2006, League and Eng 2007), and in particular calls for a formulation of information-lossless stack or pushdown compressors that allows a formal analysis of their performance and a more ambitious use of the stack in XML compression, where so far it is mainly connected to parsing mechanisms. In this paper we introduce the model of pushdown compressor, based on pushdown transducers that compute a single injective function while keeping the widest generality regarding stack computation. The celebrated Lempel-Ziv algorithm LZ78 was introduced as a general purpose compression algorithm that outperforms finite-state compressors on all sequences. We compare the performance of the Lempel-Ziv algorithm with that of the pushdown compressors, or compression algorithms that can be implemented with a pushdown transducer. This comparison is made without any a priori assumption on the data's source and considering the asymptotic compression ratio for infinite sequences. We prove that Lempel-Ziv is incomparable with pushdown compressors.
