Codes and Automata (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications, Series Number 129) 1st Edition by Jean Berstel (PDF)

Description

This major revision of Berstel and Perrin’s classic Theory of Codes has been rewritten with a more modern focus and a much broader coverage of the subject. The concept of unambiguous automata, which is intimately linked with that of codes, now plays a significant role throughout the book, reflecting developments of the last 20 years. This is complemented by a discussion of the connection between codes and automata, and new material from the field of symbolic dynamics. The authors have also explored links with more practical applications, including data compression and cryptography. The treatment remains self-contained: there is background material on discrete mathematics, algebra and theoretical computer science. The wealth of exercises and examples make it ideal for self-study or courses. In summary, this is a comprehensive reference on the theory of variable-length codes and their relation to automata.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “For undergraduates, this synergy of many basic subjects should make an ideal capstone course. In addition, abstract algebra students always need practical applications and computer science students always need to see the “pure” mathematics; the material in this work can serve both ends.” D.V.
