Evaluating the Gilbert-Varshamov bound for constrained systems

Description
Summary:We revisit the well-known Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound for constrained systems. In 1991, Kolesnik and Krachkovsky showed that the GV bound can be determined via the solution of an optimization problem. Later, in 1992, Marcus and Roth modified the optimization problem and improved the GV bound in many instances. In this work, we provide explicit numerical procedures to solve these two optimization problems and, hence, compute the bounds. We then show that the procedures can be further simplified when we plot the respective curves. In the case where the graph presentation comprises a single state, we provide explicit formulas for both bounds.
