Multi-value match length functions for data compression
Mohammadali Khosravifard, Masoumeh Nasiri‐Kenari · 2002
In this paper, we propose a new match length function (MLF) called multi-value MLF (MVMLF) to be used with the Lempel- Ziv type (LZI) data compression scheme. By restricting the function to five essential constraints, we obtain the most complete and compact dynamic dictionary which is efficiently updated. Based on MVMLF, we present two asymptotically optimal compression schemes.
