  Abstract

Code is a set of words. If, for any pair of words in the code, one is not prefix of another, the code is called “Prefix(-Free) Code”. The prefix coding problem is, given n, to find an optimal code with the minimum-sum of lengths of n words. As a special case of this, we present a method to find, given language L in some specific classes of regular languages, an optimal code among prefix codes in L. We also show how the structure of optimal codes varies as n grows, using trees.
