We introduce a class of sets of words which is a natural common generalization of Sturmian sets and of interval exchange sets. This class of sets consists of the uniformly recurrent tree sets, where the tree sets are defined by a condition on the possible extensions of bispecial factors. We prove that this class is closed under maximal bifix decoding. The proof uses the fact that the class is also closed under decoding with respect to return words.
We prove new results concerning the relation between bifix codes, episturmian words and subgroups offree groups. We study bifix codes in factorial sets of words. We generalize most properties of ordinary maximal bifix codes to bifix codes maximal in
We investigate the relation between bifix codes and interval exchange transformations. We prove that the class of natural codings of regular interval echange transformations is closed under maximal bifix decoding.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the group of a rational maximal bifix code $Z$ to be isomorphic with the $F$-group of $Zcap F$, when $F$ is recurrent and $Zcap F$ is rational. The case where $F$ is uniformly recurrent, which is known
Rudolph (1967) introduced one-step majority logic decoding for linear codes derived from combinatorial designs. The decoder is easily realizable in hardware and requires that the dual code has to contain the blocks of so called geometric designs as c
The rank of a graph is defined to be the rank of its adjacency matrix. A graph is called reduced if it has no isolated vertices and no two vertices with the same set of neighbors. A reduced graph $G$ is said to be maximal if any reduced graph contain
