Arithmetic Coding<br />

} arithmetic <strong>coding</strong> generates codes that are optimal<br />

according to information theory<br />

- supports average code word length smaller than 1<br />

- supports strings of different length<br />

} probability model is separated from en<strong>coding</strong><br />

operation<br />

- probability model:<br />

• en<strong>coding</strong> strings and not single characters<br />

• assign "codeword" to each possible string<br />

• codeword consists of a half open subinterval of the interval [0,1]<br />

• subintervals for different strings do not intersect<br />
