Probabilistic automatic complexity of finite strings

Probabilistic automatic complexity of finite strings

We introduce a new complexity measure for finite strings using probabilistic finite-state automata (PFAs), in the same spirit as existing notions employing DFAs and NFAs, and explore its properties. The PFA complexity $A_P(x)$ is the least number of states of a PFA for which $x$ is the most likely string …
