Abstract

We extend our work on difference randomness. Each component of a difference test is a Boolean combination of two r.e. open sets; here we consider tests in which the kth component is a Boolean combination of g(k) r.e. open sets for a given recursive function g. We use this method to produce an alternate characterization of weak Demuth randomness in terms of these tests and further show that a real is weakly Demuth random if and only if it is Martin-Löf random and cannot compute a strongly prompt r.e. set. We conclude with a study of related lowness notions and obtain as a corollary that lowness for balanced randomness is equivalent to being recursive.
