Computability And Randomness Vol 51 – Andre Nies

object that in some sense has a finite weight. In (I) this object is a bounded request set showing that A is K-trivial, while in (II) it is a Solovay test needed to show that A ≤T Y . Table 5.1 on page 200 gives an overview of cost functions. Recall that {Y } is a Π0 2 class for each ∆0 2 set Y . A cost function construction allows us to extend (II): for each Σ0 3 null class C, there is a promptly simple set A such that A ≤T Y for every ML-random set Y ∈C.

This is applied in Theorem 8.5.15 to obtain interesting classes contained in the c.e. K-trivial sets. Most cost functions c(x, s) will be non-increasing in x and nondecreasing in s. That is, at any stage larger numbers are no cheaper, and a number may become more expensive at later stages. Note that we have already proved the existence of a promptly simple set that is low for K and hence K-trivial (see the comment before Proposition 5.2.3).

However, the cost function construction in (I) gives a deeper insight into K- triviality. Indeed, we will prove that each K-trivial set can be viewed as being built via such a construction. For this, it will be necessary to extend the cost function method to ∆0 2 sets: one now considers the sum of the costs c(x, s) of changes As(x)̸ = As−1(x). This characterization via a cost function shows that each K-trivial set A is Turing below a c.e.

K-trivial set C, where C is the change set of A defined in the proof of the Limit Lemma 1.4.2. The only known proof of this result is the one relying on cost functions. To build a promptly simple set A, we meet the prompt simplicity requirements PSe in the proof of Theorem 1.7.10. Such a requirement acts at most once, and is typically allowed to incur a cost of up to 2−e.

In that case, the sum of the costs is finite, that is, A obeys the cost function. Instead of 2−e we could use any other nonnegative quantity f(e) ∈Q2, as long as the function f is computable and
e f(e) < ∞.
