This scheme is initiated by Ziv and Lempel [1]. A slightly modified version is described by Storer and Szymanski [2]. An implementation using a binary tree is proposed by Bell [3]. The algorithm is quite simple: Keep a ring buffer, which initially contains "space" characters only. Read several letters from the file to the buffer. Then search the buffer for the longest string that matches the letters just read, and send its length and position in the buffer.
My (so called) HiP compression algorithm as console mode
utility. It s a hybrid of Lempel-Ziv 77 and Adaptive Huffman
encoding (Huffman + LZ77 ZIP = HiP) with a word prefix hash
algorithm etc.

Lempel ziv algorithm is a dictionary based algorithm that addresses byte sequences from former contents instead of the original data. This algorithm consists of a rule for parsing strings of symbols from a finite alphabet into substrings, whose lengths do not exceed a prescribed integer and a coding scheme which maps these substrings sequentially into uniquely decipherable code words of fixed length. The strings are selected so that they have nearly equal probability of occurrence. Frequently-occurring symbols are grouped into longer strings while occasional symbols appear in short strings.
