  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.
Though initially popular, the popularity of LZ78 later dampened, possibly because for the first few decades after it was introduced, parts of LZ78 were patent encumbered in the United States.
The most popular form of LZ78 compression was the LZW algorithm, a modification of the LZ78 algorithm made by Terry Welch.

 Lossless Data Compression: LZ78
Under LZ78, the dictionary is a potentially unlimited collection of previously seen phrases.
LZ78-based schemes work by entering phrases into a ‘dictionary’ and then, when a repeat occurrence of that particular phrase is found, outputting a token that consists of the dictionary index instead of the phrase, as well as a single character that follows that phrase.
Since 256 cannot be represent by the standard 8-bit byte, this would require 9 bits – nevertheless, it is still a great improvement on the standard 40-bit ASCII encoding.

In LZ78 a parsing tree is built by the "compressor", which will also be regenerated by the "decompressor" at the time of decoding.
LZ78 was improved upon in 1984 by a man named Welch, thus giving us the LZW Algorithm.
LZ78 was the algorithm that was used in Unix Compress, which is still available on many systems.

 Class notes CS251B -- Winter 1997
The highly innovative LZ77 and LZ78 methods, although usually referred to as the singular Lempel-Ziv (LZ) or Ziv-Lempel method, are in fact considerably different.
In both cases, encoding proceeds "on the fly," so that as symbols are read in, more and more phrases are stored (in that respect, the LZ compression techniques are a bit like a suffix trie).
Lempel and Ziv's compression techniques of '77 and '78 gave rise to a series of variants which form part of the LZ family.

Prediction Using Incremental Parsing — The LZ78 Algorithm An important result that is derived in (Feder, Merhav and Gutman 1992) is that a sub-class of the class of FS predictors, the class of Markov Predictors, performs asymptotically as well as any FSM.
The LZ78 data compression algorithm as suggested by Lempel and Ziv (Ziv and Lempel 1978), is an incremental parsing algorithm that introduces exactly such a method for gradually changing the Markov order at the appropriate rate.
LZ78 is a dictionary-based text compression algorithm that performs incremental parsing of an input sequence.

 LZ78   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Since the string did have a match in the dictionary until the last character was read in, the current string is defined as that last match with one new character added on.
LZ78 takes this process one step further by adding this new phrase, consisting of the dictionary match and the new character, to the dictionary.
The output of LZ78 algorithm will be in the form , where i is the index corresponding to the dictionary entry that has the longest match to the input and c the codeword of the character that broke up the match.

 Hacking Data Compression - Lesson 8
LZ78 outputs two symbols each time, the longest matching phrase and the first character that didn't match.
With LZ78, we would've output the 0 followed by the second 'a'.
There are LZ78 variants which actually combine the last two phrases to form new phrases; this causes the phrase table to expand much more quickly.

 Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
LZ78 is part of the family of LZ dictionary algorithms, which work by caching in on repetition of small lexical units and larger phrases in data files.
LZ78 was invented by Lempel and Ziv in 1978.
A significant improvement to this algorithm was implemented by Welch in 1984 and patented by Unisys.

The sliding window approach automatically creates the LRU effect which must be done explicitly in LZ78 schemes.
An algorithm was developed which combines the ideas behind LZ77 and LZ78 to produce a hybrid called LZFG.
LZFG uses the standard sliding window, but stores the data in a modified trie data structure and produces as output the position of the text in the trie.

 Towards Analytical Information Theory: Recent Results on Lempel-Ziv Data Compression Schemes
Each internal node of the tree is associated with such a segment seen in the past and insertion takes place at an external node, which corresponds to extending a previously encountered segment.
Consider an execution of the LZ78 algorithm when n characters of the text have been scanned, assuming that a new segment starts at position (n+1).
It is now possible to return to the LZ78 algorithm.

 Hacking Data Compression - Lesson 7
They are known as LZ77 and LZ78, referring to the papers published by Ziv and Lempel in 1977 and 1978, respectively (the transposition of 'L' and 'Z' was made early and propagated widely).
Instead of treating the input as a big wad of text, LZ78 breaks the input into "phrases", where each phrase is the longest matching previously seen phrase plus the first character that didn't match.
By assigning probabilities to the branches of the tree and to future events, it can be shown that LZ78 does poorly near the start of the input when it has no information in the tree.

 Copmression (not definitive but a guide to some forms) - Below Top Secret General Discussion
The LZ78 algorithm is so called, because it was derived from the initials and year the mathematicians, Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv officially released it in 1978.
In order to argue the statement “LZ78 was the best lossless data compression algorithm at its conception” we must examine other techniques used at the time and those under development.
LZ78 was not designed to be operated independently, but in combination with other algorithms.

LZ78 is faster than LZ77 but doesn't always achieve as high a compression ratio as LZ77.
NOTES: The biggest advantage LZ78 has over the LZ77 algorithm is the reduced number of string comparisons in each encoding step.

1.2 Background of LZJH Data Compression LZJH is similar to the algorithm described in [LZ78] although it also has aspects which are similar to the algorithm described in [LZ77].
As such, it provides the execution speed and low memory requirements of [LZ78] with compression ratios that are better than [LZ77].
A typical [LZ78] compression algorithm, such as V.42bis, is not suitable for an IPComp application since it takes too long to build up its dictionary, resulting in poor compression ratios on IP datagrams that are compressed independently.

 LZ78 coding algorithm
The LZ78 coding algorithm also referred to as dictionary-based coding algorithm.
Hence for infinitely long input string the position (and therefore the binary representation of it) of that maximal substring is unbound, thus complicating coding.
If the input string is relatively small, the algorithm doesn't have time to build sufficiently large dictionary for efficient coding.
