LZW with dictionary clearing
How does LZW decompress data with dictionary clearing/flushing? I understand that a space is reserved in the dictionary that represents a clear code (usually 256), but how is this code actually used ...

Huffman Coding vs LZW Algorithm
I'm trying to understand comparisons between the two. Is there ever a case where is it better to use Huffman Coding over LZW? Could the compression ratio for Huffman ever surpass that of LZW?
Thanks!...

Number of phrases of LZ compression
It is known that for the number $c(n)$ of phrases / tupel of the LZ compression for binary words of length $n$ the following relation holds:
$$c(n)\leq\frac{n}{(1-\epsilon_n)\log_2 n}$$
With $\...

LZW decoding process
I'm trying to understand how LZW decodes a string.
For example suppose that we have a dictionary where:
a=0
b=1
and we have to encode the string "aabbabaabb", so the output of the encoding ...

How optimal is Lempel-Ziv at reaching the Shannon limit?
I find this a bit difficult to describe, but I am interested in the following idea :
The LZ algorithm factors (verb) an input stream into adjacent factors, these are by definition the maximal ...

Behavior of iterative application of LZ77
I have been experimenting with LZ77 (naively $O(n^2)$ runtime, infinite window). Applying it to the 7th Fibonacci word $abaababaabaab$ yields the correct LZ factorization:
$\qquad a,b,a,aba,baaba,ab$....
