On Universal Noiseless Source Coding for Infinite Source Alphabets
László Györfi, I. Pali, Edward C. van der Meulen · European Transactions on Telecommunications · 1993
Abstract We show that there is a universal noiseless source code for the class of all coun‐tably infinite memoryless sources for which a fixed given uniquely decodable code has finite expected codeword length. This source code is derived from a class of distribution estimation procedures which are consistent in expected information divergence.
