Abstract

The Lempel-Ziv data compression algorithm has the property that for finite-memory sources the redundancy /spl rho//sub n/ (defined as the difference between the average code rate and the entropy when the memory size is n) is O (log log n/log n). We suggest a new version of the algorithm with redundancy /spl rho//sub n/=O (1/log n).< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
