On locally balanced gray codes

Resumo

We consider locally balanced Gray codes.We say that a Gray code is locally balanced if every “short” subword in its transition sequence contains all letters of the alphabet |1, 2,..., n~. The minimal length of these subwords is the window width of the code. We show that for each n ≥ 3 there exists a Gray code with window width at most n + 3⌊log n⌋.
