An alphabetic binary tree formulation applies to problems in which an outcome needs to be determined via alphabetically ordered search prior to the termination of some window of o...
Let P = {p(i)} be a measure of strictly positive probabilities on the set of nonnegative integers. Although the countable number of inputs prevents usage of the Huffman algorithm, ...
This paper deals with the problem of universal lossless coding on a countable infinite alphabet. It focuses on some classes of sources defined by an envelope condition on the margi...
We investigate code trees and search trees with cost functions that increase exponentially with the depth in the tree. While corresponding coding theorems have been considered in ...
An erasure channel with a fixed alphabet size q, where q 1, is studied . It is proved that over any erasure channel (with or without memory), Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes...
