Abstract

Kolmogorov complexity offers a way to characterize the information

content and intrinsic randomness of an individual object.
Surprisingly, it has found applications in a variety of proofs
including average case analyses, formal languages, combinatorics, time
and space complexity analyses and many more.

I give a brief introduction to the concept of Kolmogorov complexity
and show its usefulness by means of different examples including a
recent application to liar games.
