Talk:Adaptive Huffman coding

Hi, everyone.

I put up this article because, IMHO, an adaptive technique deserves a walktrough. But I'm in doubt, maybe just erase it and give a bunch of links to good sites, even merge to Huffman.

And that thing with numbers seems to be just a heap structure trick, maybe even propritary. Highest number == Topmost right.

FGK -> Vitter

The algorithme described is the Vitter alg., not the FGK alg..

Swap

I don't understand one thing: should the nodes be swapped together with its subtree? I guess it is so so that the weights correspond and so that the tree can change its shape. Yet, I may have missed something. --Honnza 08:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
