Golomb coding is a lossless data compression method using a family of data compression codes invented by Solomon W. Golomb in the 1960s. Alphabets following a geometric distribution will have a Golomb code as an optimal prefix code,[1] making Golomb coding highly suitable for situations in which the occurrence of small values in the input stream is significantly more likely than large values.
