Arithmetic Coding
A lossless data compression method that approaches the theoretical entropy limit. It encodes an entire message sequence as a fractional number within an interval, closely approximating the true entropy of the source. The method exhibits particular advantages when symbol probability distributions are highly non-uniform.
