Elias' Encoding from Lagrangians and Renormalization
Abstract: An efficient approach to universality and optimality of binary codes for integers known as Elias' encoding can be deduced from the classical constrained optimization and renormalization techniques. The most important properties, such as being a universal prefix code, also follow naturally.
