This concerns a paper by Boris Ryabko, the imaginary sliding window and a joint paper by Ryabko and me (just appeasred in Journal of Complexity). Both are available from the material provided by the homepage for the E2000-seminar (also available via study material below - I guess put a little away, anyhow, here is a direct link).
