The algorithm developed by Lempel and Ziv allows lossless compression, sans prior knowledge of the statistical properties of the data.

Discover how this powerful algorithm measures randomness and compresses data—perfect for tech enthusiasts and curious minds alike!

Ziv and Lempel co-invented the famous Lempel-Ziv algorithm that is the basis of ZIP files. Prof. Abraham Lempel died 7 weeks ago. On Sunday, March 26, 2023, Jacob Ziv, a prominent Israeli computer ...

After twenty years, a vulnerability in Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO), an extremely efficient compression algorithm, has finally been patched. The flaw, a subtle integer overflow, existed for as long ...

He, alongside Professor Avraham Lempel, who died in February at the age of 86, developed the data compression algorithm Lempel-Ziv (LZ), which paved the way for the development of the ZIP, PDF ...
