Multidimensional Fibonacci Coding
Fibonacci codes are self-synchronizing variable-length codes that are proven useful for their robustness and compression capability. Asymptotically, these codes provide better compression efficiency as the order of the underlying Fibonacci sequence increases, but at the price of the increased suffix length. We propose a circumvention to this problem by introducing higher-dimensional Fibonacci codes for integer vectors. In the process, we provide extensive theoretical background and generalize the theorem of Zeckendorf to higher order. As thus, our work unify several variations of Zeckendorf's theorem while also providing new grounds for its legitimacy.
