Abstract
A method for reducing the information transmitted in the variable length encoding of numerical data blocks with encoding of single values and string lengths of a consecutive value ('run lengths'). Advantageously, the system eliminates that transmission of the last element in a string of recurrent values preceded by a 'run length' and followed by another 'run length' or by a data block end. When the string of recurrent values has a length of only one element, the single element is not transmitted.
