Randomness on computable probability spaces - A dynamical point of view
We extend the notion of randomness (in the version introduced by Schnorr) to computable probability spaces and compare it to a dynamical notion of randomness: typicality. Roughly, a point is typical for some dynamic, if it follows the statistical behavior of the system (Birkhoff’s pointwise ergodic theorem). We prove that a point is Schnorr random if and only if it is typical for every mixing computable dynamics. To prove the result we develop some tools for the theory of computable probability spaces (for example, morphisms) that are expected to have other applications
An Approach of Randomness of a Sample Based on Its Weak Ergodic Limit
For a Polish Sample Space with a Borel σ-field with a surjective measurable transformation, we define an equivalence relation on sample points according to their ergodic limiting averages. We show that this equivalence relation partitions the subset of sample points on measurable invariant subsets, where each limiting distribution is the unique ergodic probability measure defined on each set. The results obtained suggest some natural objects for the model of a probabilistic time-invariant phenomenon are uniquely ergodic probability spaces. As a consequence of the results gained in this paper, we propose a notion of randomness that is weaker than recent approaches to Schnorr randomness
Computability of probability measures and Martin-Lof randomness over metric spaces
In this paper we investigate algorithmic randomness on more general spaces
than the Cantor space, namely computable metric spaces. To do this, we first
develop a unified framework allowing computations with probability measures. We
show that any computable metric space with a computable probability measure is
isomorphic to the Cantor space in a computable and measure-theoretic sense. We
show that any computable metric space admits a universal uniform randomness
test (without further assumption).Comment: 29 page
Representations of measurable sets in computable measure theory
This article is a fundamental study in computable measure theory. We use the
framework of TTE, the representation approach, where computability on an
abstract set X is defined by representing its elements with concrete "names",
possibly countably infinite, over some alphabet {\Sigma}. As a basic
computability structure we consider a computable measure on a computable
-algebra. We introduce and compare w.r.t. reducibility several natural
representations of measurable sets. They are admissible and generally form four
different equivalence classes. We then compare our representations with those
introduced by Y. Wu and D. Ding in 2005 and 2006 and claim that one of our
representations is the most useful one for studying computability on measurable
functions

theorem). We prove that a point is Schnorr random if and only if it is typical
for every mixing computable dynamics. To prove the result we develop some tools
