Abstract

Let A* be a free monoid generated by a set A and let X ⊆ A* be a code with property P. The embedding of X into a complete code Y ⊆ A* with the same property P is called the completion of X. The method of completion of rational bifix codes and codes with finite decoding delays have been investigated by a number of authors. In this paper, we provide a general method of construction for completing the codes with finite bi-decoding delays. As a consequence, the completion method of rational bifix codes and codes with finite decoding delays is extended and applied to codes with finite bi-decoding delays.
