Random reals à la Chaitin with or without prefix-freeness

We give a general theorem that provides examples of n-random reals à la Chaitin, for every n ≥ 1; these are halting probabilities of partial computable functions that are universal by adjunction for the class of all partial computable functions, The same result holds for the class functions of parti...
