Reserved-length prefix coding

Abstract: Abstract-Huffman coding finds an optimal prefix code for a given probability mass function. Consider situations in which one wishes to find an optimal code with the restriction that all codewords have lengths that lie in a user-specified set of lengths (or, equivalently, no codewords have lengths that lie in a complementary set). This paper introduces a polynomial-time dynamic programming algorithm that finds optimal codes for this reserved-length prefix coding problem. This has applications to quickly encodin… Show more

“…Baer [4] introduces these problems in the context of fast decoding and used a top-down DP approach to solve the first one in O(|Λ|n 3 ) time and the second one in O(n 3 g 3 log g n) time . We will reduce these two cases, respectively, to O(|Λ|n 2 ) and O(n 2 g log n) time.…”
