An Improved LZW Data Compression Algorithm

Sifeng Liu · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2006

A data compression algorithm named LZW* based on LZW is presented in this paper. The improvements can be generalized two aspects. The fist is about the dictionary storage, which is three tuple, and the second improvement is dynamically storing the data, while the classical LZW algorithm is statically, which will need more space. Finally, we show the promising experimental results compared with winRAR.
