Lower Bounds on the Redundancy of Huffman Codes With Known and Unknown Probabilities

In this paper, we provide a method to obtain tight lower bounds on the minimum redundancy achievable by a Huffman code when the probability distribution underlying an alphabet is only partially known. In particular, we address the case where the occurrence probabilities are unknown for some of the s...
