%C A003188 Invented by Emile Baudot (1845-1903), originally called a "cyclic-permuted" code. Gray codes are named after Frank Gray, who patented their use for shaft encoders in 1953. [F. Gray, "Pulse Code Communication", U.S. Patent 2,632,058, March 17, 1953.] - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Jun 22 2014
%C A003188 For n >= 2, let G_n be the graph whose vertices are labeled as 0,1,...,2^n-1, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their binary expansions differ in exactly one bit, then a(0),a(1),...,a(2^n-1),a(0) is a Hamilton cycle in G_n. - _Jianing Song_, Jun 01 2022
