Bounds on the Number of Huffman and Binary-Ternary Trees
Huffman coding is a widely used method for lossless data compression because it optimally stores data based on how often the characters occur in Huffman trees. An n-ary Huffman tree is a connected, cycle-lacking graph where each vertex can have either n “children” vertices connecting to it, or 0 children. Vertices with 0 children are called leaves. We let hn(q) represent the total number of n-a...
متن کاملThe Construction of Huffman Codes is a Submodular ("Convex") Optimization Problem Over a Lattice of Binary Trees
We show that the space of all binary Huffman codes for a finite alphabet defines a lattice, ordered by the imbalance of the code trees. Representing code trees as path-length sequences, we show that the imbalance ordering is closely related to a majorization ordering on real-valued sequences that correspond to discrete probability density functions. Furthermore, this tree imbalance is a partial...
متن کاملOptimum Huffman Forests
In this paper we solve the following problem: Given a positive integer f and L weights (real numbers), nd a partition with f classes of the multiset of weights such that the sum of the costs of the optimum m-ary Hu man trees built for every class of is minimum. An application to the optimal extendibility problem for pre x codes is proposed.
متن کاملFibonacci-Like Polynomials Produced by m-ary Huffman Codes for Absolutely Ordered Sequences
A non-decreasing sequence of positive integer weights P ={p1, p2,..., pn} (n = N*(m-1) + 1, N is number of non-leaves of m-ary tree) is called absolutely ordered if the intermediate sequences of weights produced by m-ary Huffman algorithm for initial sequence P on i-th step satisfy the following conditions 2 , , ) ( 1 ) ( − = < + N 0 i p p i m i m . Let T be an m-ary tree of size n and M=M(T) b...
متن کاملA New Heuristic Algorithm for Drawing Binary Trees within Arbitrary Polygons Based on Center of Gravity
Graphs have enormous usage in software engineering, network and electrical engineering. In fact graphs drawing is a geometrically representation of information. Among graphs, trees are concentrated because of their ability in hierarchical extension as well as processing VLSI circuit. Many algorithms have been proposed for drawing binary trees within polygons. However these algorithms generate b...
