Abstract

We present almost linear time (O(n驴log |驴|) time) O(log n)- ratio approximation of minimal grammar-based compression of a given string of length n over an alphabet 驴 and O(k 驴 log n) time transformation of LZ77 encoding of size k into a grammar-based encoding of size O(k 驴 log n). Computing exact size of the minimal grammar-based compression is known to be NP-complete. The basic novel tool is the AVL-grammar.
