IRWIN AND JOAN JACOBS CENTER FOR COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Average Redundancy of the Shannon Code for Markov Sources
It is known that for memoryless sources, the average and maximal redundancy of fixed–to–variable length codes, such as the Shannon and Huffman codes, exhibit two modes of behavior for long blocks. It either converges to a limit or it has an oscillatory pattern, depending on the irrationality or rationality, respectively, of certain parameters that depend on the source. In this paper, we extend ...
متن کاملGeneralized Shannon Code Minimizes the Maximal Redundancy
Source coding, also known as data compression, is an area of information theory that deals with the design and performance evaluation of optimal codes for data compression. In 1952 Hu man constructed his optimal code that minimizes the average code length among all pre x codes for known sources. Actually, Hu man codes minimizes the average redundancy de ned as the di erence between the code len...
متن کاملAsymptotic Average Redundancy of Huffman (and Shannon-Fano) Block Codes
We study the redundancy of Huffman code (which, incidentally, is as old as the author of this paper). It has been known from the inception of this code that in the worst case Huffman code redundancy defined as the excess of the code length over the optimal (ideal) code length is not more than onc. Over more than forty years, insightful, elegant and useful constructions have been set up to deter...
متن کاملOn the Average Redundancy Rate of the Lempel-Ziv Code
Wojciech Szpankowski'" Department of Computer Science Purdue University W. Lafayette, IN 47907 U.S.A. It was conjectured that the average redundancy rate, Tnl for the Lempel-Ziv code (LZ78) is 0(loglognflogn) where n is the length of the database sequence. However, it was also known that for infinitely many n the redundancy Tn is bounded from the below by 2/ log n. In this paper we settle the a...
متن کاملAverage Redundancy for Known Sources: Ubiquitous Trees in Source Coding∗
Analytic information theory aims at studying problems of information theory using analytic techniques of computer science and combinatorics. Following Hadamard’s precept, these problems are tackled by complex analysis methods such as generating functions, Mellin transform, Fourier series, saddle point method, analytic poissonization and depoissonization, and singularity analysis. This approach ...
