生成长运行格雷码

Generating long-run Gray codes

对于通信系统,我需要一种特殊的格雷码。 要求是:

  1. 两个连续的值只有一位不同,就像所有格雷码一样。
  2. 同一位上的两次转换应该至少远离某个任意数量的值。此距离记为最小 运行 长度的 mrl。
  3. 我不关心最后一个代码到第一个代码的距离,代码翻转时对mrl没有约束

此类格雷码的一个示例是,对于 5 位且 mrl = 4:

01111000011110000111100001111000
00111100000011111100001111110000
00011110000111100001111000011110
00001111110000111111000000111100
00000000111111110000000011111111

This paper 给出不同位数的最佳 mrl 值。然而,这些值被发现 "By use of exhaustive computer searches"

我有 python 代码可以很好地处理少量位数,最多 6 个:

N = 5 # number of bit
mrl = 4 # minimum run length
first_transition = [0]
first_code = [0]

def Recur(previous_transitions, previous_codes):
  if len(previous_codes) == (2**N):
    for b in xrange(N):
      print ''.join([str((code >> (N-b-1)) & 1) for code in previous_codes])
    print
    return
  new_transition_list = range(N)
  for new_transition in new_transition_list:
    ok = True
    for i in xrange(mrl-1): #look back for transitions that are too close
      try:
        if new_transition == previous_transitions[-1-i]:
          ok = False
          break
      except: break
    if ok:
      new_code = previous_codes[-1] ^ 2**new_transition #look back for repeated code
      if not (new_code in previous_codes):
        Recur(previous_transitions+[new_transition], previous_codes+[new_code])

Recur(first_transition, first_code )
raw_input('[end]')

我的问题是我想要一个20位的代码,基本方法的复杂度似乎接近O(n^3)。关于如何改进此代码的任何建议?有没有更好的方法?

我有完全相同的问题,一直找不到解决方案,但我使用的是一个足够好的解决方案。

Donald E. Knuth 的书“计算机编程艺术,第 4 卷,分册 2”有一个 8 位长 运行 格雷码的图像(没有关于如何制作它的信息) .

我提取了二进制序列,并排列了一些行(它不影响结果,因为任何行排列都是同一类型的代码)。它由数字的二进制表示组成:

一个允许放大它的技巧,就是对这个长 运行 格雷码进行“格雷码”。

要继续这个序列,你反转顺序,加入序列中第二个元素的二进制表示,然后再次反转整个序列,加入下一个

不是完美的解决方案,但效果很好。
它没有用更多位(按 O(log_2(n) 的顺序)可以实现的最佳长跑,但至少有 Knuth 的 8 位示例的长跑。

如果您找到了问题的解决方案,请告知我们。真的好难找。
