    Measuring communication complexity using instance complexity with oracles

    Full text link
    We establish a connection between non-deterministic communication complexity and instance complexity, a measure of information based on algorithmic entropy. Let x‾\overline{x}, y‾\overline{y} and Y1(x‾)Y_1(\overline{x}) be respectively the input known by Alice, the input known by Bob, and the set of all values of yy such that f(x‾,y)=1f(\overline{x},y)=1; a string is a witness of the non-deterministic communication protocol iff it is a program pp that "corresponds exactly" to the instance complexity \ic^{f,t}(\overline{y}:Y_1(\overline{x}))
