  2. LCP array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCP_array

    Likewise, the LCP of A[2] = ab and A[3] = abaab is ab, so H[3] = 2. Augmenting the suffix array with the LCP array allows one to efficiently simulate top-down and bottom-up traversals of the suffix tree , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] speeds up pattern matching on the suffix array [ 3 ] and is a prerequisite for compressed suffix trees.

  3. Entropy coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_coding

    In information theory, an entropy coding (or entropy encoding) is any lossless data compression method that attempts to approach the lower bound declared by Shannon's source coding theorem, which states that any lossless data compression method must have an expected code length greater than or equal to the entropy of the source. [1]

  4. Min-entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-entropy

    The min-entropy, in information theory, is the smallest of the Rényi family of entropies, corresponding to the most conservative way of measuring the unpredictability of a set of outcomes, as the negative logarithm of the probability of the most likely outcome.

  5. Entropy (information theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

    The concept of information entropy was introduced by Claude Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", [2] [3] and is also referred to as Shannon entropy. Shannon's theory defines a data communication system composed of three elements: a source of data, a communication channel , and a receiver.

  6. Shannon–Fano coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Fano_coding

    Unfortunately, Shannon–Fano coding does not always produce optimal prefix codes; the set of probabilities {0.35, 0.17, 0.17, 0.16, 0.15} is an example of one that will be assigned non-optimal codes by Shannon–Fano coding. Fano's version of Shannon–Fano coding is used in the IMPLODE compression method, which is part of the ZIP file format ...

    0, 3, 0, 1, −1, −1, 0, 1, 0… TotalCoeffs = 5 (indexed from highest frequency [4] to lowest frequency [0]) TotalZeros = 3 T1s = 3 (in fact there are 4 trailing ones but only 3 can be encoded as a "special case") Encoding: The transmitted bitstream for this block is 000010001110010111101101.

  8. Shannon's source coding theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon's_source_coding...

    In information theory, the source coding theorem (Shannon 1948) [2] informally states that (MacKay 2003, pg. 81, [3] Cover 2006, Chapter 5 [4]): N i.i.d. random variables each with entropy H(X) can be compressed into more than N H(X) bits with negligible risk of information loss, as N → ∞; but conversely, if they are compressed into fewer than N H(X) bits it is virtually certain that ...

  9. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    Edit distance matrix for two words using cost of substitution as 1 and cost of deletion or insertion as 0.5. For example, the Levenshtein distance between "kitten" and "sitting" is 3, since the following 3 edits change one into the other, and there is no way to do it with fewer than 3 edits: kitten → sitten (substitution of "s" for "k"),
