Almost all complete binary prefix codes have a self-synchronizing string

چکیده
The probability that a complete binary prefix code has a selfsynchronizing string approaches one, as the number of codewords tends to infinity.

In compressed data a single bit error propagates because of the corruption of the decoder’s state. This work is a study of error resilience in compressed data and, in particular, of the recovery of as much data as possible after a bit error. It is focused on Huffman codes. In a message encoded with a Huffman code a bit error causes the decoder to lose synchronization with the coder. The error p...
متن کاملMathematical Optimization and the Synchronizing Properties of Encodings
Methods for constructing binary exhaustive prefix codes with certain synchronizing properties are given. In particular it is shown how to formulate the requirement that a code be anagrammatic and the requirement for minimal synchronizing delay as linear integer programming problems. The tree structure of the code is given and the program optimizes over all possible labelings of the tree. Severa...
متن کاملHuffman Codes Lecturer : Michel
Shannon’s noiseless coding theorem tells us how compactly we can compress messages in which all letters are drawn independently from an alphabet A and we are given the probability pa of each letter a ∈ A appearing in the message. Shannon’s theorem says that, for random messages with n letters, the expected number of bits we need to transmit is at least nH(p) = −n ∑ a∈A pa log2 pa bits, and ther...
متن کاملDynamic Huffman Coding
Given nonnegative weights (wr, . . . , w,,), the well-known algorithm of Huffman [2] can be used to construct a binary tree with n external nodes and n 1 internal nodes, where the external nodes are labeled with the weights (wr, . . . , w,) in some order. Huffman’s tree has the minimum value of WJ, + * * . + w,,l, over all such binary trees, where lj is the level at which wj occurs in the tree....
متن کامل-Conjecture for Fix-Free Codes
A fix-free code is a code, which is prefix-free and suffix-free, i.e. any codeword of a fix-free code is neither a prefix, nor a suffix of another codeword. Fix-free codes were first introduced by Schützenberg (4) and Gilbert and Moore (5), where they were called never-self-synchronizing codes. Ahlswede, Balkenhol and Khachatrian propose in (6) the conjecture that a Kraftsum of a lengths sequen...
