Abstract

We define monotone complexity ${\textit{KM}}(x,y)$ of a pair of binary strings x,y in a natural way and show that ${\textit{KM}}(x,y)$ may exceed the sum of the lengths of x and y (and therefore the a priori complexity of a pair) by αlog(|x|+|y|) for every αα1). We also show that decision complexity of a pair or triple of strings does not exceed the sum of its lengths.
