Abstract: This research paper introduces two innovative algorithms combining Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) with Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) and Run-Length Encoding (RLE), integrated with Huffman coding.

IF YOU WANTED to read an ancient Roman scroll, you might reach for a dictionary, and perhaps a magnifying glass. You would probably not think of using a particle accelerator. But that is what is ...

With AV1 hardware decode on mo­bile devices stuck in the mid-to-low teens as of 2025, and with VVC at zero, it’s clear that the race to supplant H.264 and HEVC will be contested with software-only ...
