Papers on Algorithmic Information Theory
2nd Edition
God not only plays dice in quantum mechanics, but even with the whole numbers! The discovery of randomness in arithmetic is presented in my book Algorithmic Information Theory published by Cambridge University Press. There I show that to decide if an algebraic equation in integers has finitely or infinitely many solutions is in some cases absolutely intractable. I exhibit an infinite series of such arithmetical assertions that are random arithmetical facts, and for which it is essentially the case that the only way to prove them is to assume them as axioms. This extreme form of Gdel incompleteness theorem shows that some arithmetical truths are totally...

Foundations of Generalized Information Theory
Deal with information and uncertainty properly and efficiently using tools emerging from generalized information theoryUncertainty and Information: Foundations of Generalized Information Theory contains comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of results that have emerged from a research program begun by the author in the early 1990s under the name "generalized information theory" (GIT). This ongoing research program aims to develop a formal mathematical treatment of the interrelated concepts of uncertainty and information in all their varieties. In GIT, as in classical information theory, uncertainty (predictive, retrodictive, diagnostic, prescriptive, and the like) is viewed as a manifestation of information deficiency, while information is ...
