Objectives Computer and communication practice relies on data
compression and dictionary search methods. They lean on a rapidly
developing theory. Its exposition from a new viewpoint is the
purpose of the book. We start from the very beginning and finish
with the latest achievements of the theory, some of them in print
for the first time. The book is intended for serving as both a
monograph and a self-contained textbook. Information retrieval is
the subject of the treatises by D. Knuth (1973) and K. Mehlhorn
(1987). Data compression is the subject of source coding. It is a
chapter of information theory. Its up-to-date state is presented in
the books of Storer (1988), Lynch (1985), T. Bell et al. (1990).
The difference between them and the present book is as follows.
First. We include information retrieval into source coding instead
of discussing it separately. Information-theoretic methods proved
to be very effective in information search. Second. For many years
the target of the source coding theory was the estimation of the
maximal degree of the data compression. This target is practically
bit today. The sought degree is now known for most of the sources.
We believe that the next target must be the estimation of the price
of approaching that degree. So, we are concerned with trade-off
between complexity and quality of coding. Third. We pay special
attention to universal families that contain a good com pressing
map for every source in a set."
