  • Abstract
    An algorithm is described where given the letter probabilities for a memoryless message source that emits N letters, only O(N^2) steps are required--rather than the previously reported O(N^3) steps---to construct a code with the minimum average codeword length permitted by the constraint that codeword lengths be monotonically increasing.
