  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The LZW algorithm is the most popular dictionary-based adaptive text compression scheme [Welch 1984]. In the LZW algorithm, a changing dictionary contains common strings that have been encountered so far in the text. The motivation for the present research is to explore an on-line variable-length binary encoding. We apply this encoding to LZW codes for remedy of the problem that we discussed in Acharya and Mukherjee [1995]. We call it the LZWAJ algorithm
