[1] The probability model is given by P(a1) = 0.2, P(a2) = 0.3 and P(a3) = 0.5. Find the real valued tag
for the sequence a1 a1 a3 a2 a3 a1.
[2] The probability model is given by P(a1) = 0.2, P(a2) = 0.3 and P(a3) = 0.5. Decode a sequence of
length 10 with the tag 0.63215699.
[3] Write encoding and decoding algorithm for integer implementation of arithmetic codding.
[4] Encode the following sequence using the LZ77 algorithm:
barrayar_bar_by_barrayar_bay
Assume you have a window size of 30 with a look-ahead buffer of size 15. Furthermore, assume
that C(a) = 1, C(b) = 2, C( _ ) = 3, C(r) = 4, and C(y) = 5.
[5] A sequence is encoded using the LZ77 algorithm. Given that C(a) = 1, C( _ ) = 2, C( r ) = 3, and
C(t) = 4, decode the following sequence of triples:
<0, 0, 3> <0, 0, 1> <0, 0, 4> <2, 8, 2> <3, 1, 2> <0, 0, 3> <6, 4, 4> <9, 5, 4>
Assume that the size of the window is 20 and the size of the look-ahead buffer is 10. Encode the
decoded sequence and make sure you get the same sequence of triples.
[6] A sequence is encoded using the LZW algorithm and the initial dictionary shown in below table.
Index Entry
1 a
2 /b
3 h
4 i
5 s
6 t

(a) The output of the LZW encoder is the following sequence:

6 3 4 5 2 3 1 6 2 9 11 16 12 14 4 20 10 8 23 13
Decode this sequence.
(b) Encode the decoded sequence using the same initial dictionary. Does your answer match
the sequence given above?
[7] A sequence is encoded using the LZW algorithm and the initial dictionary shown in below table.
Index Entry
1 a
2 /b
3 r
4 t
(a) The output of the LZW encoder is the following sequence:
3 1 4 6 8 4 2 1 2 5 10 6 11 13 6
Decode this sequence.
(b) Encode the decoded sequence using the same initial dictionary. Does your answer match
the sequence given above?
