  • Abstract
    Arikan´s (see IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, vol.42, p.99-105, 1996) guessing inequality is seen to be of broader applicability and can be used to lower bound the moments of sequences other than the guessing sequence, for example the sequence of Huffman codeword lengths, the guessing sequence for variable costs, and the sequence of Varn (1971) codeword lengths
