Algorithmic complexity may refer to:

  • In algorithmic information theory, the complexity of a particular string, in terms of all algorithms that generate it.
  • In Computational complexity theory, although it would be a non-formal usage of term, the time/space complexity of a particular problem, in terms of all algorithms that solve it with computational resources (i.e., time or space) bounded by a function of the input's size.
    • Or it may refer to the time/space complexity of a particular algorithm with respect to solving a particular problem (as above), which is a notion commonly found in analysis of algorithms.
