Abstract
We introduce and investigate the class of bounded-delay-encodable bloc k-decodable (BDB) codes. Several characterizations for this class of c odes are given, and some construction methods, especially for one-symb ol look-ahead BDB codes, are described. In another direction, we use o ur results to show the existence of a decision procedure for some basi c coding problems.
