We introduce a new variant of variable-length source coding for sending a source over two parallel channels, one of which is costly and the other free. We give a complete solution to this problem. Next, we relate the problem to the number…

A variable-length code is a fix-free code if no codeword is a prefix or a suffix of any other codeword. In a fix-free code any finite sequence of codewords can be decoded in both directions, which can improve the robustness to channel noise…

Prefix parsing asks whether an input prefix can be extended to a complete string generated by a given grammar. In the weighted setting, it also provides prefix probabilities, which are central to context-free language modeling,…

We give the first algorithm for adaptive alphabetic prefix-free coding that is worst-case optimal in terms of time and compression when $\sigma \in o \left( \frac{n^{1 / 2}}{\log n} \right)$, where $\sigma$ is the size of the alphabet and…

A text written using symbols from a given alphabet can be compressed using the Huffman code, which minimizes the length of the encoded text. It is necessary, however, to employ a text-specific codebook, i.e. the symbol-codeword dictionary,…
