Optimal prefix-free codes that end in a specified pattern and similar problems: the uniform probability case
Mordecai J. Golin, Hyeon-Suk Na · 2002
In this paper we discuss the problem of constructing minimum-cost, prefix-free codes for equiprobable words under the assumption that all codewords are restricted to belonging to an arbitrary language L. We examine how, given certain types of L, the structure of the minimum-cost code changes as n, the number of codewords, grows.
