A Gray code for cross-bifix-free sets

A cross-bifix-free set of words is a set in which no prefix of any length of any word is the suffix of any other word in the set. A construction of cross-bifix-free sets has recently been proposed in Cheeet al.(2013) within a constant factor of optimality. We propose a Gray code for these cross-bifix-free sets and a CAT algorithm generating it. Our Gray code list is trace partitioned, that is, words with zero in the same positions are consecutive in the list.
