Tunstall Coding
In computer science and information theory, Tunstall coding is a form of entropy coding used for lossless data compression. History Tunstall coding was the subject of Brian Parker Tunstall's PhD thesis in 1967, while at Georgia Institute of Technology. The subject of that thesis was "Synthesis of noiseless compression codes" Its design is a precursor to Lempel–Ziv. Properties Unlike variable-length codes, which include Huffman coding, Huffman and Lempel–Ziv, Lempel–Ziv coding, Tunstall coding is a code which maps source symbols to a fixed number of bits. Both Tunstall codes and Lempel–Ziv codes represent variable-length words by fixed-length codes. Unlike Typical set, typical set encoding, Tunstall coding parses a stochastic source with codewords of variable length. It can be shown that, for a large enough dictionary, the number of bits per source letter can be arbitrarily close to H(U), the Entropy (information theory), entropy of the source.
