Improved Methods For Generating Quasi-Gray Codes By Dana Jansens Winter 2010 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computer Science
Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Computer Science School of Computer Science Carleton University Supervisor: Anil Maheshwari Co-Supervisor: Michiel Smid ABSTRACT Consider a sequence of bit strings of length d, such that each string
differs from the next in a constant number of bits.
We call this sequence a quasi-Gray code.
We examine the problem of efficiently generating such codes, by considering
the number of bits read and written at each generating step, the average number
of bits read while generating the entire code, and the number of strings
generated in the code. Our results give a trade-off between these
constraints, and present algorithms that do less work on average than previous
results, and that increase the number of bit strings generated.
