Around Kolmogorov Complexity: Basic Notions and Results
by Alexander Shen
Publisher: arXiv.org 2015
Number of pages: 51
Description:
Algorithmic information theory studies description complexity and randomness and is now a well known field of theoretical computer science and mathematical logic. This report covers the basic notions of algorithmic information theory: Kolmogorov complexity (plain, conditional, prefix), Solomonoff universal a priori probability, notions of randomness, effective Hausdorff dimension.

Conditional Rate Distortion Theory
by Robert M. Gray - Information Systems Laboratory
The conditional rate-distortion function has proved useful in source coding problems involving the possession of side information. This book represents an early work on conditional rate distortion functions and related theory.

From Classical to Quantum Shannon Theory
by Mark M. Wilde - arXiv
The aim of this book is to develop 'from the ground up' many of the major developments in quantum Shannon theory. We study quantum mechanics for quantum information theory, we give important unit protocols of teleportation, super-dense coding, etc.
