Abstract

We suggest a method of enumerative block encoding for sequences with constrained length of a run of zeros. Though the algorithm obtained coincides in form with the classical Bahl–Tang method, its application is extended to sequences with a wider class of constraints. We obtain recursion formulas for bit weights.
