COMPLETING COMMA-FREE CODES by
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that for every regular comma-free code there exists a maximal comma-free code containing it which is still regular and, moreover, we can effectively locate such a completion. In particular, we can decide whether a given regular comma-free code is maximal.

Varieties of comma-free codes
New varieties of comma-free codes CFC of length 3 on the 4-letter alphabet are defined and analysed: self-complementary comma-free codes (CCFC), C3 comma-free codes (C3CFC), C3 self-complementary comma-free codes (C3CCFC), selfcomplementary maximal comma-free codes (CMCFC), C3 maximal comma-free codes (C3MCFC) and C3 self-complementary maximal comma-free codes (C3CMCFC). New properties with wor...
متن کاملA relation between trinucleotide comma-free codes and trinucleotide circular codes
The comma-free codes and circular codes are two important classes of codes in code theory and in genetics. Fifty years ago before the discovery of the genetic code, a trinucleotide (triletter) comma-free code was proposed for associating the codons of genes with the amino acids of proteins. More recently, in the last ten years, trinucleotide circular codes have been identified statistically in ...
متن کاملFinite State Models in the Study of Comma-Free Codes
The definition of comma-free codes is extended to be more comprehensive and include codes with variable length codewords and codes with an unlimited number of codewords. Finite state recognizers are used to represent commafree codes in a compact form, making available the well established methods of manipulating and analysing finite state models. An efficient algorithm is presented to test the ...
متن کاملRestrictions and Generalizations on Comma-Free Codes
A significant sector of coding theory is that of comma-free coding; that is, codes which can be received without the need of a letter used for word separation. The major difficulty is in finding bounds on the maximum number of comma-free words which can inhabit a dictionary. We introduce a new class called a self-reflective comma-free dictionary and prove a series of bounds on the size of such ...
