Talk:List of independent discoveries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reminder / To Do: Check, whether the following concept was really independently discovered by the named guys:
Kolmogorov Complexity, also known as "Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity", descriptive complexity, etc., of an object such as a piece of text is a measure of the computational resources needed to specify the object. The concept was independently introduced by Andrey Kolmogorov, Ray Solomonoff and Gregory Chaitin in the late 1960s.
Use the history chapters in the book "Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and its Applications" by Li & Vitanyi for this check
