New research explores nonterminating computations and their complexity

This paper delves into the computational complexity of nonterminating resampling computations, exploring the survival tail and Kolmogorov complexity of random tapes that cause algorithms to run indefinitely. It introduces the concept of Hausdorff dimension to quantify the set of such tapes. The research presents a main theorem that bounds the sum of probabilities for surviving prefixes under specific conditions, offering insights into termination behavior and dimension bounds. The study highlights how different repair rules, even with identical stopping-time laws, can exhibit vastly different nontermination dimensions, influenced by action labels invisible at lower power levels.

    The Dimension of Nonterminating Resampling Computations

    arXiv:2607.17469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A randomized algorithm may terminate almost surely even though exceptional random tapes make it run forever. This paper studies the survival tail, the Kolmogorov complexity of one such tape, and the Hausdorff dimension of all of t…
