New Compression Schemes for Natural Number Sequences

Abstract:
Elias and Fano independently proposed a quasi-succinct representation for monotonic integer sequences. In case the standard deviation is high, we suggest using the well known Cγ code instead of the Unary code used by their solution. In case the integers are similar, not necessarily forming a monotonic sequence, we propose to apply the Haar transform as a preprocessing stage, to achieve additional savings. Experimental results support the additional savings carried out by using our method.
