Abstract :
We present a Knuth-like method for balancing q-ary codewords, which is characterized by the absence of a prefix that carries the information of the balancing index. Look-up tables for coding and decoding the prefix are avoided. We also show that this method can be extended to include error correction of single channel errors.
