A Comparison of Huffman codes across languages
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a study correlating encoding and compressibility across four languages: English, France, German and Spanish. We show that French presents the better compression rates among those languages for two sample files, the Biblical texts Psalm 23 and Genesis 1, even though it neither have the best encoding nor the least number of characters. We discuss the possible reasons for this result and the limitations of this approach.

Bounds on Generalized Huffman Codes
New lower and upper bounds are obtained for the compression of optimal binary prefix codes according to various nonlinear codeword length objectives. Like the coding bounds for Huffman coding — which concern the traditional linear code objective of minimizing average codeword length — these are in terms of a form of entropy and the probability of the most probable input symbol. As in Huffman co...

This paper presents new lower and upper bounds for the compression rate of optimal binary prefix codes on memoryless sources according to various nonlinear codeword length objectives. Like the most well-known redundancy bounds for minimum (arithmetic) average redundancy coding — Huffman coding — these are in terms of a form of entropy and/or the probability of the most probable input symbol. Th...

متن کاملA Comparative Complexity Study of Fixed-to-variable Length and Variable-to-fixed Length Source Codes
In this paper we present an analysis of the storage complexity of Huffman codes, Tunstall codes and arithmetic codes in various implementations and relate this to the achieved redundancies. It turns out that there exist efficient implementations of both Huffman and Tunstall codes and that their approximations result in arithmetic codes. Although not optimal, the arithmetic codes still have a be...
