This algorithm implements the Hu-Tucker method of variable length, minimum redundancy alphabetic binary encoding [1]. The symbols of the alphabet are considered to be an ordered forest of n terminal nodes. Two nodes in an ordered forest are said to be tentative-connecting if the sequence of nodes between the two given nodes is either empty or consists entirely of nonterminal nodes.
