  • Abstract
    For a given set of N symbols to be coded by a code of alphabet size D , the necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimality of a block code of length m , if N = D^m , and the optimality of a code of words of length only m and m + 1 , if D^m < N < D^{m+1} , are stated, and an example of the construction of such a code is given.
