On completion of codes with finite deciphering delay. (English) Zbl 0722.94006

Summary: We show a construction to embed a code with finite deciphering delay into a complete one, which preserves rationality and thinness properties. In consequence, each rational (thin) code with finite deciphering delay is included in a rational (thin) maximal code with the same delay.
