Codes and Automata Berstel Perrin Reutenauer Hardback Cambridge University Press

Codes and Automata\n\nA comprehensive reference on the theory of variable-length codes and their relation to automata.\n\nJean Berstel (Author), Dominique Perrin (Author), Christophe Reutenauer (Author)\n\n9780521888318, Cambridge University Press\n\nHardback, published 5 November 2009\n\n634 pages\n24 x 16 x 3.5 cm, 1.08 kg\n\n\""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.\""\nD.V. Feldman, Choice Magazine\n\nThis 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]
