Abstract
The HZY compression scheme is a context-based compression method. It is a one-pass algorithm as the codeword of a given block T[(k-1)β+1:kβ] depends only on the `past'. Analysis of this scheme shows that on any input generated by a stationary ergodic source, the output of the temporal HZY scheme converges to the conditional entropy of the source. No other one-pass compression scheme is known to be optimal under this refined notion of information content.
