Abstract
We introduce a degree of non-randomness using a test concept.
The degree implies a notion of an optimal Martin-L\”of test, which is different from a universal test.
In the latter half we generalize Solovay reducibility.
Solovay reducibility is a measure of relative randomness between two reals.
We introduce uniform solovay reducibility, which is a measure of relative randomness between two sequences of reals.
Finally we prove that a sequence is uniform Solovay complete iff it is the sequence of measures of an optimal Martin-L\”of test.

Abstract
We show that the space of bounded non-negative Borel measures on
a computable topological space is also a computable topological space
with A-topology. Then we de ne computable measures which may not
be probabilistic and may be even in nite. We also study randomness for
non-negative Borel measures which may not be probabilistic.

Abstract
Schnorr randomness and computably randomness are natural concepts of random sequences. However van Lambalgen’s Theorem fails for both randomnesses. In this paper we define truth-table Schnorr randomness (defined by Franklin and Stephan too only by martingales) and truth-table reducible randomness, for which we prove that van Lambalgen’s Theorem holds. We also show that the classes of truth-table Schnorr random reals relative to a high set contain reals Turing equivalent to the high set. It follows that each high Schnorr random real is half of a real for which van Lambalgen’s Theorem fails. Moreover we establish the coincidence between triviality and lowness notions for truth-table Schnorr randomness.
