Abstract

We describe an efficient algorithm for decoding canonical Huffman codes with look-up tables. Further, the dependence between the probability of the least frequent symbol and the length of its codeword in a Huffman code is investigated. We design a method for estimating the source file size for a given Huffman code. We show how this method can be used to estimate a 驴good驴 size for the look-up table, used in the decoding.
