K-triviality using conditional complexity?
To account for length, the definition of K-trivial set makes the complexity of the length part of the upper-bound on the complexity of the string. Has anyone determined what happens if one instead asks for a bound on the length-conditional complexity? This could be done with either plain or prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity.

 * If there's a constant bound on the length-conditioned complexity, then the set is computable. For a bound that tends to infinity (maybe $$K(n)$$?), this is similar to c.e.-traceability, so I suspect it won't line up exactly with $$K$$-triviality.
 * For research level math like this, you'll probably have better luck on mathoverflow.--Antendren (talk) 10:04, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
