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 />
