Secondary abstract: | In the course of the diploma seminar I was looking for code with the smallest expected length. Such code is called optimal code. First I defined the limits of lengths of optimal code and presented Kraft inequality for prefix code and uniquely decodable code. Kraft inequality gives us a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a prefix code or a uniquely decodable code for a given set of codeword lengths. At the end of my work I focused on Huffman codes. Using examples I presented the idea of Huffman algorithm and the connection with some other mathematical problems. Then I gave the theoretical background to the algorithm and concluded that the code obtained with the Huffman algorithm is optimal. |
