Properties of maximum Lempel-Ziv complexity strings (1311.0822v1)

Abstract: The properties of maximum Lempel-Ziv complexity strings are studied for the binary case. A comparison between MLZs and random strings is carried out. The length profile of both type of sequences show different distribution functions. The non-stationary character of the MLZs are discussed. The issue of sensitiveness to noise is also addressed. An empirical ansatz is found that fits well to the Lempel-Ziv complexity of the MLZs for all lengths up to $10^6$ symbols.
