Grammar-based Codes





EXAMPLES

The class of grammar-based codes is very broad. It includes block codes, variations of the incremental parsing Lempel-Ziv code Ziv and Lempel 1978 ( LZ78 ), the multilevel pattern matching (MPM) algorithm Kieffer et. al. 2000, and many other new universal lossless compression algorithms.


CODING THEOREMS

Grammar-based codes are universal in the sense that they can achieve asymptotically the entropy rate of any stationary, ergodic source with a finite alphabet.
