Codes avec des mots infinis
In this paper we give two families of codes which are minimal generators of biinfinite languages: the family of very thin codes (which contains the rational codes) and another family containing the circular codes. We propose the conjecture that all codes are minimal generators.
The following problem motivated by investigation of databases is studied. Let be a q-ary code of length n with the properties that has minimum distance at least n − k + 1, and for any set of k − 1 coordinates there exist two codewords that agree exactly there. Let f(q, k)be the maximum n for which such a code exists. f(q, k)is bounded by linear functions of k and q, and the exact values for special k and qare determined.
We show that the problem of finding the family of all so called the locally reducible factors in the binary de Bruijn graph of order k is equivalent to the problem of finding all colourings of edges in the binary de Bruijn graph of order k-1, where each vertex belongs to exactly two cycles of different colours. In this paper we define and study such colouring for the greater class of the de Bruijn graphs in order to define a class of so called regular factors, which is not so difficult to construct....
The existence and uniqueness (up to equivalence defined below) of code loops was first established by R. Griess in [3]. Nevertheless, the explicit construction of code loops remained open until T. Hsu introduced the notion of symplectic cubic spaces and their Frattini extensions, and pointed out how the construction of code loops followed from the (purely combinatorial) result of O. Chein and E. Goodaire contained in [2]. Within this paper, we focus on their combinatorial construction and prove...
