A Simple Online Competitive Adaptation of Lempel-Ziv Compression with Efficient Random Access Support

We present a simple adaptation of the Lempel Ziv 78' (LZ78) compression scheme that supports efficient random access to the input string. The compression algorithm is given as input a parameter ε > 0, and with very high probability increases the length of the compressed string by at most a f...
