MINIMALITY AND DUALITY OF TAIL-BITING TRELLISES FOR LINEAR CODES

Codes can be represented by edge-labeled directed graphs called trellises, which are used in decoding with the Viterbi algorithm. We will first examine the well-known product construction for trellises and present an algorithm for recovering the factors of a given trellis. To maximize efficiency, tr...
