Abstract
A linear correspondence is developed between the states of a rate- k/n convolutional encoder G and the states of a corresponding syndrome former H^T , where H is an encoder of the code dual to the code generated by G . This correspondence is used to find an expression for the number of all-zero paths of length \tau in the code trellis; the answer depends only on the constraint lengths of the dual code. A partial answer to the resynchronization problem also falls out of this development.

A view of three decades of linear filtering theory

TL;DR: Developments in the theory of linear least-squares estimation in the last thirty years or so are outlined and particular attention is paid to early mathematica[ work in the field and to more modern developments showing some of the many connections between least-Squares filtering and other fields.

The dynamics of group codes: state spaces, trellis diagrams, and canonical encoders

TL;DR: If C is complete and strongly controllable, then a minimal encoder in controller canonical (feedbackfree) form may be constructed from certain sets of shortest possible code sequences, called granules.

Convolutional codes I: Algebraic structure

TL;DR: Minimal encoders are shown to be immune to catastrophic error propagation and, in fact, to lead in a certain sense to the shortest decoded error sequences possible per error event.
