title = "Encoding and decoding of balanced q-ary sequences using a Gray code prefix",
abstract = "Balancing sequences over a non-binary alphabet is considered, where the algebraic sum of the components (also known as the weight) is equal to some specific value. Various schemes based on Knuth's simple binary balancing algorithm have been proposed. However, these have mostly assumed that the prefix describing the balancing point in the algorithm can easily be encoded. In this paper we show how non-binary Gray codes can be used to generate these prefixes. Together with a non-binary balancing algorithm, this forms a complete balancing system with straightforward and efficient encoding/decoding.",
