The fractional greedy algorithm for data compression

Abstract
En 中文
Text-compression problems are considered where substrings are substituted by code-words according to a static dictionary such that the original text is encoded by a shorter code sequence. We introduce a new efficient on-line heuristic which locally maximizes the compaction ratio. The worst-case behaviour of this fractional greedy heuristic is investigated for several types of dictionaries.
