  LZ77 and LZ78 (algorithms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LZ77 and LZ78 are the names for the two lossless data compression algorithms published in papers by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv in 1977 and 1978.
Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv; A Universal Algorithm for Sequential Data Compression, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, May 1977.

Abraham Lempel is a computer scientist and one of the fathers of the LZ family of lossless data compression algorithms.
The following algorithms point with their letter L towards Lempel: The following timeline outlines the development of algorithms since their inception.
Jacob Ziv, along with Abraham Lempel, developed the lossless LZW compression algorithm.

 LZW - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was developed by Terry Welch in 1984 as an improved version of the LZ78 dictionary coding algorithm developed by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv.
LZ78 was covered by U.S. Patent 4,464,650 by Lempel, Ziv, Cohn, and Eastman, assigned to Sperry Corporation, later Unisys Corporation, filed on August 10, 1981, and presumably now expired.
Although the LZW acronym obviously refers to the inventors as Lempel, Ziv and Welch, some people claim the intellectual property rights go to Ziv first, so the method must be called the Ziv-Lempel-Welch algorithm, and not the Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm.

 HP Labs : About HP Labs : HP Fellows : Abraham Lempel
The next time you send a "zipped" file over the Internet, give a nod of appreciation to Abraham Lempel, one of the creators of the algorithm that allows data to be compressed and transmitted over the Net efficiently and without dropping one bit along the way.
Abraham Lempel, director of HP Labs Israel, and Jacob Ziv, both professors at the Israel Institute of Technology at the time, invented the Lempel-Ziv algorithm back in computing's infancy in the late 1970s.
Lempel laughs at how he and Ziv never considered the potential remunerative aspects of their invention.

 Class notes CS251B -- Winter 1997
In order to obtain the necessary frequencies of symbols in the data to be compressed, these methods either had to rely on the ability to predict such occurrences or would require that the text be read in beforehand.
In 1977, two Israeli information theorists, Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv, introduced a radically different way of compressing data - one which would avoid the uncertainty of making predictions or the wastefulness of pre-reading data.
Lempel and Ziv's compression techniques of '77 and '78 gave rise to a series of variants which form part of the LZ family.

Using other remarkably simple ideas Jakob Ziv, Abraham Lempel and Terry Welch developed other very valuable compression schemes.
One of these was modified by Terry Welch into a widely used standard for compression, now known as LZW (Lempel, Ziv and Welch).
In fact, the two papers of Ziv and Lempel spawned a whole family of compression schemes that are incorporated in a great variety of applications ranging from modems and archivers to databases.

 LZW Compression: A Short Summary
The essential principle is that each unique data string of characters is stored once in a "dictionary", after which all re-iterations are simply denoted by a code, thus eliminating repetitions and reducing size effectively.
Lempel-Ziv Welch (LZW) first began its existence in 1977, with the publication of the theorems and algorithms of Jacob Ziv and Abraham Lempel, as Lempel-Ziv compression.
It did not fully become LZW until 1984, when Terry A. Welch, then working for Unisys published the algorithm in "A Technique for High-Performance Data Compression" in IEEE Computer.

 Lz77 by Arturo San Emeterio Campos
In 1977 Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv presented their dictionary based scheme for text compression.
In 1982 James Storer and Thomas Szymanski basing on the work of Lempel and Ziv, presented their scheme, Lzss.
And that's what we actually use, but lzss it's commonly called lz77, so we'll call it lz77 from this point at on, but remember that it can also be named Lzss.
